A Misna Gittin traktátusa
The Gittin Tractate of the Mishna

Summary/Abstract: The Tractate Gittin, as its name implies, is concerned mainly with problems of the document known as Get (plural Gittin). The name was applied to two kinds of document – the (get pitturin), the writ of divorce, given by a husband to his wife, and the (getshihrur), given by a master to his slave. When used without further qualification, the word refers to the former of these. It is this document that the tractate Gittin principally deals with. To avoid misunderstanding, however, the fact must be emphasised that the main theme of Gittin is not divorce, but the validity of the (get). The translation is based on the following text: Seder Nasim. In: Shisha sidre Mishnahim perushe rabenu Ovadiya mi-Bartenura ve-im kitsur perush tosafot Yom Tov. Hocaat Horev,Jerusalajim 1994, pp. 715–747.
