The Mishnah Treatise Sanhedrin: Edited With an Introduction, Notes and Glossary

Excerpt from The Mishnah Treatise Sanhedrin: Edited With an Introduction, Notes and Glossary It is evident, even in its present form, that the Mishnah treatise Sanhedrin was originally a sort of judges' manual; just as Yo'ma was a manual for the service of the Day of Atonement and Sa'tala a manual for the trial of a woman accused of adultery And like these books, Sanhedrin not only contains strictly fialakic material, but is embellished with beautiful sen tences and sentiments from the Aggada/i which breathe a spirit of broad humanity, justice and piety. It's as pecial importance, however, lies in its chief theme the procedure of the jewishsynhedrion, of the body in which we see the last flicker of Jewish state life; and which, from its connection with the life and death of Jesus, is of interest to large circles of students.
