Join us in congratulating Shaye J.D. Cohen, Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy.
The Oxford Annotated Mishnah, a project that Shaye Cohen launched over ten years ago, has now finally been published by Oxford University Press. Two co-editors joined the project along the way (one of whom, alas, did not live to see the project to completion). This publication includes three large volumes, about 2500 pages of text, and the efforts of fifty contributors. The Mishnah is the foundational document of rabbinic law and, one might say, rabbinic Judaism.
