Editions of the Shemonah Peraḳim
The Peraḳim are found in all editions of the Mishnah and Talmud which contain the Commentary of Maimonides.[1] The text of the Peraḳim contained in the first edition of the Mishnah agrees substantially with that found in the Commentary on Abot which has been collated by the editor, and designated by So. Both were printed by Soncino.[2] The Peraḳim in the first edition of the Talmud are practically in accord with these.
The Commentary on Abot with the Peraḳim was incorporated into the Italian ritual (1484) and also into the Greek ritual (since 1520).[3] They may also be found in the Maḥzorim of the Soncino Brothers, Soncino, 1485 (finished, Casal Maggiore, 1486),[4] and Rimini, 1521, and in the Bologna edition of the Maḥzor, 1540–1541.[5]
