thread_title:  current usage 

message: There seems to be a disagreement about the use of alcohol or water expanding in volume from 1000 to 1080 (freezing to boiling).  Ref 2 states water but surely this ignores the fact that it contracts slightly at 4 C.  The text here states alcohol.
And there is a query [why] when discussing 80 equal divisions with mercury thermometers.  So they are not strictly following the water/alcohol expansion approach.  I suppose that is why they aren't exact Reaumur degrees.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.215.125 (talk) 22:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I was stationed in Germany during the years 1950-1952 and saw thermometers in use that
 employed both Celsius and Reaumur scales.  They did not appear to be ancient, either.  
So someone was using the Reaumur scale within living memory (mine).

1522 would be 5282 or 5283, with ending letters Pay, followed by Bais or Gimmel. Neither would be confused for a Zayyin or CHess; the Pay does not resemble Ayyin.

message: I tried to look up the quotes in this article. Some I located, but others I couldn't. A significant amount of the "periods of history" section seems to not match up with the text of Tanna Devei Eliyahu in Friedmann, which itself does not seem to match up with entirely with the text on Sefaria (skimming the "Editions" section of this article, I did not see a simple explanation for this). So I think this whole article needs attention from an expert who is willing to go deep into the original text, or else can find a comprehensive modern discussion of Tanna Devei Eliyahu.

We have both:

Both were published by Ktav, and released into the commons with a CC-BY license in exchange for Sefaria compensating the publisher.

I have a COI (I work for Sefaria). I have discussed it on WikiProject:Judaism and it has been adjudicated and resolved favorably atCOIN#Sefaria_requested_edits.

Sachs thinks that it was compiled from two previous works by the same author, the relation of the two productions to each other being that of text and commentary, the text giving merely the story of the Bible, which was interrupted by the commentary in the form of the Aggadah, and the commentary being intended for reading during the ten days of penitence.

Talk:Sifri Zutta

message: The article consistently refers to the book as "Sifre Zutta", which is close a reasonably standard English transcription of the Hebrew title (although there is no reason for the double "t"). However, the title of the article "Sifri Zutta" is a transcription of the folk-pronounciation used by traditional yeshiva students. It is reasonable to have a spelling based on the folk-pronounciation re-direct to a title with a more standard Hebrew spelling, but the folk spelling should not be the title of the main article.

message: I would seriously recommend deleting the sentence in parentheses, in the sub-section: "The Present Text," which reads: "(Ḳid. 33a cannot be cited in proof, because R. Simeon b. Rebbi can hardly have taught Ḥiyya's Sifra)." The reason here is plain. Rabbi Simeon, the son of Rebbi (R. Yehudah Hanassi), would have lived either during or after the generation of Rabbi Hiyya. This same Rabbi Hiyya was also a contemporary of Rab, and was in fact his uncle, as proven by the Babylonian Talmud (Pesahim 4a), while this same Rab who is believed to have compiled the Sifra and Sifrei, studied under Rabbi Yehudah Hanassi, the father of Rabbi Simeon, as also proven by the Talmud (Hullin 137b).
