Von der hinteren Coverseite

Book Seven of the Code of Maimonides deals with laws concerning agriculture: the planting and harvesting of crops; the offerings and tithes to be set aside for the priests and the Levites; the portions to be left standing for the poor; the Sabbatical year, when planting is forbidden and monetary debts are canceled; and the Jubilee year, when land must be restored by the present owner to its original owner, without reimbursement.
