The present volume is the fifth and last in a series covering the first order of the Jerusalem Talmud, The principles of the edition regarding text, vocalization, and commentary have been spelled out in detail in the Introduction to the first volume. The text in this volume is based on the recently published manuscript text of the Yerushalmi by the Academy of the , Jerusalem 2001. The only systematic difference between this text and the editio princeps is that the manuscript shows less influence of Babylonian spelling. Most noticeable, bv) is a separate word in the print but a prefix in the manuscript,.

The extensive commentary is not based on emendations; therefore the preliminary translations of Roger Brooks (1993) and Jacob Neusner (1991) of the Tractates included have not been consulted. The main commentaries used are the same as in the prior volumes. Biographical notes have been attached to the names of those personalities not already mentioned in the previous volumes.

Again I wish to thank my wife, Dr. Eva Guggenheimer, who acted as critic, style editor, proof reader, and expert on the Latin and Greek vocabulary. Her own notes on some possible Latin and Greek etymologies are identified by (E. G.).
