“Sheringham’s translation and annotation of the Mishnaic tractate [Yoma] is considered a landmark and pioneer effort in Hebrew studies among the works of English Christian-Hebraists. In his lengthy preface Sheringham strongly defends Rabbinic texts and argues for their use by Christian Bible students, emphasizing the importance of Jewish tradition and the Talmud to the Gospels” M. Heller, The Seventeenth Century Hebrew Book, Vol. 1, pp. 648-9.
