Book 10, The Book of Cleanness
Translated by Herbert Danby
This book is an English translation of the Code of Maimonides. It contains the intricacies peculiar to the rules of cleanness and uncleanness: owing to their nonrational nature, these rules are unlike those of any other branch of jewish law, civil or sacred; even for the initiated, even for the ancient 'Sages' themselves, the principles governing these rules are often obscure, baffling, incomprehensible.
