This work follows the single tractate, Moed Qatan, in its passage through the principal documents of formative Judaism_the Mishnah (200 C.E.), Tosefta (300 C.E.), Yerushalmi (400 C.E.), and Bavli (600 C.E.). Author Jacob Neusner presents a systematic account of the Halakhah in its documentary unfolding from beginning to end. In acute detail, the study illustrates the comparison between the documents by showing each individual document's treatment of the same topic.
