The Jerusalem Talmud. Third Order: Nasim / Tractate Qiddusin

Edition, translation, and commentary by Heinrich W. Guggenheimer. Englisch/Hebräisch. This volume concludes the edition, translation, and commentary of the third order of the Jerusalem Talmud. The pentateuchal expression lqkh 'ssh "to take as wife" is more correctly translated either as "to acquire as wife" or "to select as wife". The Tractate Qiddusin deals with all aspects of acquisition as well as the permissible selections of wives and the consequences of illicit relations.
