The Jerusalem Talmud. Fourth Order: Neziqin

English/Hebrew. Tractates Bava Qamma, Bava Mesi'a, and Bava Batra. Edition, translation, and commentary by Heinrich W. Guggenheimer.

This is volume 13 of the edition of the complete Jerusalem Talmud. Within the Fourth Order Neziqin ("damages"), these two tractates deal with various types of oaths and their consequences (Sevu'ot) and laws pertaining to Jews living amongst gentiles, including regulations about the interaction between Jews and "idolators" ('Avodah Zarah). In contrast to the Babylonian Talmud, the treatment in the Jerusalem Talmud is fragmentary. The reason for this is a matter of controversy, discussed in the Introduction to the Tractate.
