Tractate Sanhedrin Mishnah And Tosefta PDF Download

Excerpt from Tractate Sanhedrin, Mishnah and Tosefta, the Judicial Procedure of the Jews as Codified Towards the End of the Second Century, A D The Tosefta must not, however, be regarded as a later addition to the existing Mishnah; its similarities and differences lend themselves rather to a hypothesis which would see in the Tosefta a supplement to an earlier form of the Mishnah than is now in our possession. The Mishnah opens by passing in review the less serious cases which come up for trial or adjudication, such as can be settled, if need be, on the basis of a money payment. They are passed by with just the briefest mention; they are not a real part of the subject-matter, since they do not come before the Sanhedrin, but may be decided by a court or jury consisting of as few as three members.
