The "Mishnah," understood to be the written form of the Jewish Oral
Law, was preserved by the rabbis following the destruction of the
Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, and was completed in approximately 200
CE. More than four centuries of Jewish religious thought and
activity are found within this text, and it is as important to the
development of Judaism as the New Testament is to the development
of Christianity. Students of the New Testament will find it
especially interesting because its contents reflect the Jewish
religious tradition during the time of Jesus and the early
Christian Church. The "Mishnah" historical value in understanding
the first two centuries of the common era is comparable in its
importance to the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the Apocrypha,
Pseudepigrapha, and secular works of that time such as the writings
of Josephus. This edition by Danby is the classic English
translation of the "Mishnah" (which was originally written in
Middle or "Mishnaic" Hebrew), and has been the standard for almost
80 years for scholars and other interested readers. Until the
printing of this volume in the 1930s, the "Mishnah" was not
available to study as a whole for the English speaker. Now it is
available for the first time in a paperback edition.
