Description
The Mishnah is the foundational document of rabbinic law and, one could say, of rabbinic Judaism itself. It is overwhelmingly technical and focused on matters of practice, custom, and law. The Oxford Annotated Mishnah is the first annotated translation of this work, making the text accessible to all. With explanations of all technical terms and expressions, The Oxford Annotated Mishnah brings together an expert group of translators and annotators to assemble a version of the Mishnah that requires no specialist knowledge.

Reviews
"As a work of academic scholarship, the features that most distinguish The Oxford Annotated Mishnah from traditional translations include a focus on textual criticism, an interest in historicity and material culture." -- Yitz Landes, Jewish Review Of Books"One innovative and praiseworthy feature of the translation in The Oxford Annotated Mishnah is that it tries, often successfully, to emulate the Mishnah's economy of language... The Oxford Annotated Mishnah is a significant event in the history of Mishnah interpretation. Never before has such an illustrious cadre of scholars joined forces to create such a work." -- Yitz Landes, Jewish Review of Books"The true merit of this new edition lies in its scholarly explanations...Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; practitioners; general readers." -- Choice"The true merit of this new edition lies in its scholarly explanations... Whereas specialists will appreciate its notations about manuscripts, the annotations make this work indispensable for students and scholars of Judaica or religious studies." -- Choice
