Heinrich W. Guggenheimer – författare

Seder Olam is the basic text on which all historical understanding of Jewish tradition in the Talmud is based. This book is a translation with commentary of this classical text, making Seder Olam: The Rabbinic View of Biblical Chronology available to the English speaking public for the first time. The extensive commentary, by highly regarded scholar Heinrich W. Guggenheimer, explains the detailed arguments that derive a complete and consistent chronology from biblical anecdotal remarks. The text also addresses a number of secondary topics, such as the status of the book of Daniel and negating the value of Daniel for messianic predictions. The commentary shows that in its present form, Seder Olam is a product of the early Babylonian talmudic academics, edited in the first half of the third century C.E.Since some part of the Seder Olam deals with calendar problems, Dr. Guggenheimer offers an appendix that gives complete instruction for the computation of the Jewish calendar and the conversion of Jewish into civil dates and vice-versa.

First Order: Zeraïm / Tractate Peah and Demay is the second volume in the edition of the Jerusalem Talmud, a basic work in Jewish Patristic. It presents basic Jewish texts on the organization of private and public charity, and on the modalities of coexistence of the ritually observant and the non-observant. This part of the Jerusalem Talmud has almost no counterpart in the Babylonian Talmud. Its study is prerequisite for an understanding of the relevant rules of Jewish tradition.

First Order: Zeraïm / Tractates Kilaim and Ševiït ist der dritte Band in der Edition des Jerusalemer Talmuds und ein grundlegendes Werk der Jüdischen Patristik.Der Band präsentiert grundlegende jüdische Texte aus dem Bereich der Landwirtschaft: verbotene Mischungen von Saaten, Tieren und Geweben (Kilaim) sowie das Verbot landwirtschaftlicher Tätigkeit im Sabbatjahr, in dem auch alle Schulden zu erlassen sind (Ševiït).Dieser Teil des Jerusalemer Talmuds hat so gut wie keine Entsprechung im Babylonischen Talmud. Ohne seine Kenntnis bleiben die diesbezüglichen Regeln der jüdischen Tradition unverständlich.

This volume, the second of a five-volume edition of the third order of the Jerusalem Talmud, deals in part I (Soṭah) with the ordeal of the wife suspected of adultery (Num 5) and the role of Hebrew in the Jewish ritual. Part II (Nedarim) is concerned with Korban and similar expressions, vows and their consequences, and vows of women (Num 30).

The Tractate Ketubot ("marriage contracts") discusses inter alia the sum specified at the time of marriage to be paid in the event of divorce or the husband's death, together with the mutual obligations of man and wife, the wife's property, the law of inheritance in the female line and the widow's rights.The Tractate Nidda ("Female impurity") regulates conduct during menstruation (cf. Lev 15:19ff) and after birth (Lev 12); further topics are women's life stages, puberty and various medical questions.

The ninth volume of this edition, translation, and commentary of the Jerusalem Talmud contains two Tractates.The first Tractate, “Documents”, treats divorce law and principles of agency when written documents are required. Collateral topics are the rules for documents of manumission, those for sealed documents whose contents may be hidden from witnesses, the rules by which the divorced wife can collect the moneys due her, the requirement that both divorcer and divorcee be of sound mind, and the rules of conditional divorce. The second Tractate, “Nazirites”, describes the Nasirean vow and is the main rabbinic source about the impurity of the dead.As in all volumes of this edition, a (Sephardic rabbinic) vocalized text is presented, with parallel texts used as source of variant readings. A new translation is accompanied by an extensive commentary explaining the rabbinic background of all statements and noting Talmudic and related parallels. Attention is drawn to the extensive Babylonization of the Giṭṭin text compared to genizah texts.

Volume 12 in the edition of the complete Jerusalem Talmud. Tractates Sanhedrin and Makkot belong together as one tractate, covering procedural law for panels of arbitration, communal rabbinic courts (in bare outline) and an elaborate construction of hypothetical criminal courts supposedly independent of the king’s administration. Tractate Horaiot, an elaboration of Lev. 4:1–26, defines the roles of High Priest, rabbinate, and prince in a Commonwealth strictly following biblical rules.

Der Traktat Ketubot ("Eheverträge") bespricht u.a. die schon bei Eheschließung für den Fall der Scheidung oder des Todes des Mannes ausgesetzte Summe, dazu allgemein die Pflichten des Manns und der Frau gegeneinander, den Besitz der Frau, das Erbrecht nach der Frau und die Rechte der Witwe. Der Traktat Nidda ("Unreinheit der Frau") regelt das Verhalten während der Menstruation (vgl. Lev 15,19ff) und nach einer Geburt (Lev 12); weitere Themen sind die Lebensalter der Frau, Pubertät und verschiedene medizinische Fragen.Der Text ist vokalisiert zur besseren Verständlichkeit und um dem Leser die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Übersetzung zu kontrollieren. Wo Paralleltexte existieren, sind abweichende Lesarten angegeben. Der Schwerpunkt des Werks ist der Kommentar, in welchem der rabbinische Hintergrund, ohne den der Text im Allgemeinen unverständlich ist, im Detail angegeben und belegt wird. Daneben wird überall das Verhältnis des späteren Babylonischen Talmuds zum Jerusalem-Text aufzeigt; dies kann als Grundlage einer Geschichte des rabbinischen Ritualgesetzes angesehen werden.
