A reprint of 1927 classic "The Jewish Marriage Contract", the book contains a cogent and compelling examination of the history and significance of the Jewish marriage contract, the Ketubah, with extensive notes in Hebrew and English.  As Epstein notes in the preface, the Ketubah offers an excellent introduction to the character of Jewish marriage because it is not a sentimental, rhetorical or subjective text. Instead, it is "a legal document embodying the essential points agreed upon by the parties and sanctioned by the law as to the manner of their living together as husband and wife".  This work will interest those concerned with property rights, family, divorce, the status of women, and the evolution of betrothal and marriage
