Description: Description: The Book Of Acquisition is Vol. 5 in the Yale Judaica Series in which the fourteen volumes of The Code Of Maimonides (b. 1135 in Spain) are being translated from the Hebrew under the editorship of Leon Nemoy. Thsi volume includes the first ever translation made of all treatises in Book Twelve of The Code. -The Law of Sales -The Law of Gifts -The Law of Neighbours -The Law of Agents and Partners -The Law of Slaves Maimonides as systematizer and codifier is nowhere more apparent then in his exposition of the complex legal materials in the present book. For those studying the moral and idealistic/Theosophy of the 12th century this would expose a lot in that regard, especially from a Jewish point of view. Those wanting to know how Jewish civil law developed in later generations in the form of the copious responsa should look for its source material and mindset here. This is a good example of the laws in the Talmud and how they were interpreted by later Rabbinic authorities as practical. Handy index and notes to the Talmud and sources at back. Condition: Nice pages, binding, covers, and print. Dust cover is very nice. Staining to top corner of pages, not affecting text at all. Inscription on blank page.
