Front matter
George Raffalovich translation
Every attempt has been made to replicate the original as printed. The usage of "nephew" to mean nephew or neice and "man" to mean man or woman has not been altered. Some typographical errors have been corrected; a list follows the text. (etext transcriber's note)
