Pirke Aboth: The Tractate "Fathers," From the Mishnah (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Pirke Aboth: The Tractate "Fathers," From the Mishnah, Commonly Called "Sayings of the Fathers"In preparing a second edition I have taken note of such criticisms as I have seen, and have considered them. The most important are those of Prof. F. Pe'rles, of Konigsberg, to whom I am greatly indebted. The changes I have made are mainly corrections of slight errors, some of them merely typographical; and substantially the book in this second edition is the same as before. I have carefully gone through it and it represents what I should now wish to ete. I am gratified that the favorable recep tion given to the original work should call for a second edition.I ren'ew my thanks to the managers of the Alexander Kohut Memorial Foundation for undertaking its publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
