9. The Sefer Nizahon * Yashan has been carefully edited by David Berger, who also provided an English translation and excellent comments and introduction—see Berger, The Jewish-Christian Debate. Note further the edition by Mordechai Breuer (Jerusalem, 1978). Berger's extensive comments serve as the best available guide to recurrent polemical themes and will be cited extensively in my notes.
