<li>Printings –&#160;L. Finkelstein published a critical edition in 1939 in Berlin, which was republished in New York in 1969.<fn>Finkelstein’s work was criticized by other scholars for being too liberal with textual emendations, among other things. Finkelstein himself admitted in the introduction to the second printing that his method was flawed. Kahana (99) thus concluded that “all this compels the reader of Finkelstein’s edition constantly and thoroughly to check the critical apparatus and the commentary in order to reconstruct the manuscript versions and to examine the editor’s considerations in determining the text.</fn> The text for the edition was based on the four major available manuscripts (see above, Manuscripts) and the first edition, as well as several Genizah fragments and secondary citations.</li>

The consensus is that the main unit originates in the school of R. Akiva, and the units on Shema originate in the school of R. Yishmael. See Introduction to the Midreshei Halakhah.</fn></li>
