Eighteen Treatises from the Mishnaby D. A. Sola and M. J. RaphallOne of the first English translations of a substantial portion of the Mishna, the treasure-house of Jewish law and tradition.This is one of the earliest substantial English translations of the Mishna, the core of Jewish law and tradition, and the text at the center of the Talmud. This abridgement consists of translations of eighteen out (of about sixty) treatises which make up the Mishna, with synopses of the rest. The selection includes a few treatises for which we don't have prior public domain translations of, for instance, Yebamoth (marriage customs), Gittin (divorce), Chulin (preparing animals for food), and Yadaim (hands).For additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com
