Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press:
The Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimeon Ben Yohai on the Nezikin portion By Liora Elias Bar-Levav <http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Liora+Elias+Bar-Levav.aspx?name=Liora+Elias+Bar-Levav> Edited by: Menahem Izhak Kahana <http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Menahem+Izhak+Kahana.aspx?name=Menahem+Izhak+Kahana> The Mekhilta of R. Shimeon Ben Yohai is a Tannaitic Midrash on Exodus, redacted in the early third century in the spirit of the disciples of R. Akiba. This text was lost over the years, but a significant part of it was reconstructed on the basis of pages from the Cairo Geniza and citations by medieval scholars in an edition by J.N. Epstein and E.Z. Melamed. Heretofore this Mekhilta has not received a comprehensive commentary, and its study has been based only on selected passages. This book presents the first systematic study of the Nezikin portion in the Mekhilta. It is based on a re-examination of the manuscripts, suggesting improved readings and completion of lacunae, a thorough study of the terminology and methodology used in the text, close comparison with parallel passages in the Mekhilta of R. Ishmael and throughout Talmudic literature, and detailed analysis of its redaction.
