A Digital Synopsis of the Mishnah and Tosefta

We propose a digital research tool based on a combination of computer driven and hand edited analysis that will provide academic and lay persons alike with access to the manuscript traditions of the Mishnah and the Tosefta, and more significantly to their parallel and interrelated traditions. Further, it will provide a map of the interrelationships between the two works, including passages that are nearly parallel, those that appear independent of one another, and those where the works share common material and will reward further analysis. This will be a major contribution to the study of early rabbinic literature in and of itself.
