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.
In their three-volume work, the editors of The Oxford Annotated Mishnah (OAM) have produced a very helpful resource for anyone interested in the Mishnah. It is an academically informed yet highly accessible new translation of the Mishnah, with accompanying introductions for each tractate and annotations throughout the text. * Andrew Messner, Academic Dean, Seville Theological Seminary, Evangelical Review of Theology *
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 *
