MINOR TRACTATES OF THE TALMUD (Complete in Two Volumes with Slipcase)

Cohen, A.; Israel Brodie

Verlag: Soncino Press, 1965

8vo, burgundy cloth with matching place ribbons and topstain, gilt spine lettering. First edition thus. Both volumes exceedingly clean and sharp; DJ's show some light wear, with printed slipcase showing some light rubbing to extremities. 'In the current Hebrew editions of the Babylonian Talmud, fifteen minor tractates are included which are apocryphal in the sense that they were not a recognised part of that vast compilation, yet are of considerable value for the understanding of Rabbinic law and thought. They include ethical treatises like Aboth d'Rabbi Nathan, Derek 'Erez (two parts) and Perek Hashalom; and also tractates on legal subjects like Soferim and Sefer Torah (on the writing of the sacred scrolls and the Jewish liturgy), Semahoth (mourning rites), Kallah and Kallah Rabbati (marriage), Gerim (proselytes), Kuthim (Samaritans), ' Abadim (slaves), Teffillin (phylacteries), Lizith (fringes on the garment) and Mezuzah (the sign of the doorpost). Now, for the first time, they are trans-Iated into English in their entirety with Introduction, Commentary and extensive Index.'. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 504765
