Mishnah (Mishna) Philip Blackman Translated to English Mishnayot 6 Volume ×ž×©× ×™×•×ª
Some of the volumes have light staining to the outer edges of the first and last pages. Not a major destraction, easy to study from and complete with all pages. One volume has the first blank page missing, there are library cards or ex libris in some volumes. 5 of the volumes are covered with a protective plastic. I don't see any writing or underlining in the interior.
Classic Translation of the Mishnayos (Mishnayoth) by Philip Blackman. (Mishnayos)
The mishnah is the compilation of the whole body of laws, customs and wise saying of the
rabbinic tradition culled from ca. 200 B.C.E. - ca 250 A.D.
The Mishnah was redacted at the beginning of the third century CE in a time when, according to the Talmud, the persecution of the Jews and the passage of time raised the possibility that the details of the oral traditions of the Pharisees from the Second Temple period (536 BCE – 70 CE) would be forgotten. The majority of the Mishnah is written in Mishnaic Hebrew, while some parts are Aramaic.
The Mishnah consists of six orders (sedarim, singular seder סדר), each containing 7–12 tractates (masechtot, singular masechet מסכת; lit. "web"), 63 in total, and further subdivided into chapters and paragraphs or verses.
The word Mishnah can also indicate a single paragraph or a verse of the work itself, i.e. the smallest unit of structure in the Mishnah. For this reason the whole work is sometimes called by the plural, Mishnayot.
