The book is a very comprehensive tool ... [it] offers an unprecedented systematic approach to rabbinic hermeneutics. The Introduction to the book is a very fine, beautifully written, methodological essay in which Samely touches upon some of the most important questions and pitfalls in rabbinic studies ... all subsequent discussion of rabbinic hermeneutics will have to account for this major work. Journal of Semitic Studies This is quite the most important contribution towards an understanding of the Mishnah's interpretative strategies to have appeared in recent years; and as Samely points out, its method might be usefully adopted in other fields of hermeneutical endeavour. Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Samely's precise description of the Mishnah's hermeneutic strategies constitutes a major advance in the study of rabbinic literature in general and the Mishnah in particular. Journal of Jewish Studies
