Printed in Germany Cover Design: Christopher Schneider Preface The present volume is the sixth in this series on the Jerusalem Talmud, the first in a five volume edition, translation, and commentary of the Third Order of this Talmud. 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 recently published manuscript text of the Yerushalmi by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, Jerusalem 2001. The extensive Commentary is not based on emendations; where there is no evidence from manuscripts or early prints to correct evident scribal errors, the correction is given in the Notes. One objective of the Commentary is a study of the relation of the Babli to the Yerushalmi; this is discussed in more detail in the Introduction. 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.).
