In separate multivolumed works formanalytical English translations of the Mishnah Tosefta Yerushalmi and Bavli have been set forth. Outlines of the Yerushalmi and the Bavli have been brought about and those outlines of the two Talmuds have been compared. In addition for each subject the main points of the Halakhah of the topical expositions or tractates of the MishnahToseftaYerushalmiBavli have been set forth. The theological message of the respective tractates has been spelled out. Here we follow a single tractate through the principal documents of formative Judaism as these have already presented them. How the academic commentaries outlines and comparisons and theological summaries yield a systematic account of the Halakhah in its documentary unfolding is thus fully exposed.
