Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE SABBATH AND 'HANUKAH LIGHT. MISHNA /.: What shall and what shall not be used for lighting (the Sabbath light)? The light shall not be made with (wicks of) cedar bast, raw flax, silk fibre, weeds growing upon the water, and ship-moss.* Nor shall pitch, wax, cotton-seed oil, oil of rejected heave-offerings, f fat from the tail of a sheep, and tallow be used.

We have paraphrased the term to convey the sense to the English reader. The terms in the Mishna, with which it must not be lighted, are expressed in a mixture of Hebrew, Greek, and Roman names.
