Preface
The present volume is the eighth in this series of the Jerusalem Talmud,
the third in a four volume edition, translation, and Commentary of the
Third Order of this Talmud. It also contains an edition of the surviving
fragment of Tractate Niddah, of the Sixth Order. The principles of the
edition regarding text, vocalization, and Commentary have been spelled
out in detail in the Introduction to the first volume. The text in this
volume is based on the manuscript text of the Yerushalmi edited by the
Academy of the Hebrew Language, Jerusalem 2001.
The text contains many passages which are paralleled in other
Tractates of this Talmud. It is general knowledge that parallel passages in
the Jerusalem Talmud are copies of one another. Since there are no
parallel sources for Tractate Ketubot and only two Geniza fragments for
Tractate Niddah, parallel passages are considered as parallel sources and a
full list of variant readings is given in every case. These readings show
that in fact parallel passages are to be considered witnesses to the same
original text but it appears that a number of deviations cannot be
explained as copyists' errors and that the scribe of the Leiden ms. copied
different tractates from different mss. representing different histories of
transmission and different stages of adaptation of Palestinian spelling (as
represented by most Geniza fragments) to the Babylonian spelling with
which the scribes were familiar.
VI PREFACE
The extensive Commentary is not based on emendations; where
there is no evidence from manuscripts or early prints to correct evident
scribal errors, the proposed correction is given in the Notes. As in the
preceding volume, for each paragraph the folio and line numbers of the
text in the Krotoschin edition are added. It should be remembered that
these numbers may differ from the editio princeps by up to three lines.
It seems to be important that a translation of the Yerushalmi be
accompanied by the text, to permit the reader to compare the
interpretation with other translations.
Again I wish to thank my wife, Dr. Eva Guggenheimer, who acted
as critic, style editor, proof reader, and expert on the Latin and Greek
vocabulary. Her own notes on some possible Latin and Greek
etymologies are identified by (E. G.).
