The journal publishes full-length research papers, short communications and invited critical reviews; articles should be written in sufficient detail to allow others to verify the above methods, however they should also be intelligible to a broad scientific audience.
SANHEDRIN - san'-he-drin (canhedhrin, the Talmudic transcription of the Greek sunedrion): 1. Name: The Sanhedrin was, at and before the time of Christ, the name for the highest Jewish tribunal, of 71 members, in Jerusalem, and also for the lower tribunals, of 23 members, of which Jerusalem had two (Tosephta' Chaghighah] 11 9; Sanhedrin 1 6; 11 2). It is derived from sun, together, and hedra, seat..
It was established in 1869, reached 28,000 members in 1880, then jumped to 100,000 in 1885. Then it mushroomed to nearly 700,000 members in 1886, but its frail organizational structure could not cope and it was battered by charges of failure and violence.
