Yerushalmi Tractate Ta'aniot - Forming and Redacting the Traditions
This
is an excellent book in excellent Hebrew.
Some passages are so well written as to be considered of literary merit
by themselves. I found the observations
that the original editing was just grouping braitot and the second stage was a
formulistic "ask, answer, why, why" putting the braitot in a form for
easy memory very useful. A particular
interesting explanation is given on how the insistence on conserving the
original braitot leads to some awkward structures. Similarly appreciated the explanations of
how the prefaces of the sugiahs were place by the editors, explaining why the
same sentence appears twice in a section. I believe her use of an excel chart
to plot the frequency of Tanaim quoted in each generation is a sort of a first.
(However, it the chart did not display any SD bars.)
