Talmud for Kiddushin 53:12

By document. Rebbi Jeremiah thought to say, by a contract without obligating money⁴⁸⁰The deed of a gift transfers possession but a sales contract does not. The Babli, 26a, endorses this opinion in the name of Samuel., but with a contract obligating money he did not acquire until he paid. Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose both said, he acquired even if he did not pay⁴⁸¹If the document mentions the transfer of possession; cf. Sefer Ha‘iṭṭur I, p. 13a, Note 7.. A baraita supports Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose: ⁴⁸²Babli 27a; Tosephta Baba batra2:12. These texts do not refer to a sale document in the Greek style.“If he sold him ten fields together, when he took possession of one of them, he took possession of all of them. But if he only paid the amount for one or wrote the deed⁴⁸³Greek ὠνή, cf. Giṭṭin 4:6, Note 167. The Hellenistic ὠνή was a transfer of title; cf. Taubenschlag (Note 369), pp. 155, 206. It is asserted here that if the transfer was made conditional upon payment, the transfer of title was restricted to the amount paid. only for one of them he acquired only the one which was sold to him.” Does there exist a deed without money⁴⁸⁴There does, in the transfer of real estate from living parents to children in the form of a fictitious sale; cf. Taubenschlag p. 155. This practice is discussed in the next paragraph.? If you say, we hold that he paid for all of them, did it not say: “the amount of one”? It must be one or the other⁴⁸⁵The or in the second sentence is an exclusive “or”; the second clause is independent of the first. It follows that if the contract was written for all properties, it transfers possession of all of them..
