Private Property in Talmudic Legal Tradition

Abstract

I. The Background: Theories of Property The institution of property is one of the oldest in human experience. Because of the many approaches to the study of the origins of society and the functions of its various structures, the idea of property has been investigated from numerous points of view. In this subject, many disciplines of modern scholarship converge, each beginning with a consideration of some aspect of existent society, and then, to a greater or lesser degree, looking back into the origins of the institution in question.
