The Mishnah, Herbert Danby (Author)
Hi guys, lets bring to prepub,
From amazon
Dr. Danby's translation is an excellent edition of the Mishnah done over into English. The difficulty of understanding a translation of this specialized legal material is made much easier by Dr. Danby's inclusion of several foonotes throughout the text. Dr. Danby has also included several useful appendices which deal with everything from weights and measures to the teachers quoted in the Mishnah. An especially useful appendix is "The Rules of Uncleanness" by the the GRA (Elijah, the Gaon of Vilna) help to explain this difficult subject. Dr. Danby uses brackets to mark off text which, though not in the original, helps one to more easily understand the meaning of the text. Even though the book was originally printed in 1933 it is still a timely and valued addition to the library of those who want to understand this timeless text.
Danby is much more accurate than Neusner

neusner says "Moses received Torah from at sinai"
Danbey says, "Moses received Torah from Sinai"
the original says from sinai not at sinai.
there many other examples
