Tractates Bava Qamma, Bava Mesi'a, and Bava Batra

The present volume is the eleventh in the series of the Jerusalem Talmud , the first in a three volume edition, translation, and commentary of the Fourth Order Neziqin .
The thirty chapters of Neziqin that deal with most aspects of Civil Law are usually divided into three parts, or “gates”, known as the First Gate, Bava qamma , the Middle Gate, Bava mesi‘a , and the Last Gate, Bava batra .

In contrast to the Babylonian Talmud, the treatment in the Jerusalem Talmud is fragmentary. The reason for this is a matter of controversy, discussed in the Introduction to the Tractate.
