This was the author's (b. 1905) dissertation at Wurzburg. It is a study of the Tosefta on Beitzah. The Hebrew text is given in vowelized format in one column with the German translation in another column and with notes below.
Some tractates or parts of tractates of the Tosefta are largely dependent on the Mishnah (e.g., Yoma, except its last chapter), whereas others seem to be almost completely independent of it. Indeed in many cases the sequence and the arrangement of the material in the Tosefta throw light upon what appears to be the original sequence of certain halakhot of the Mishnah, that is not preserved in its final edition. Like the Mishnah, the Tosefta is essentially a collection of halakhot, and contains several aggadot (to a somewhat greater extent than the Mishnah). Like the Mishnah, the Tosefta is written in Mishnaic Hebrew, with very little Aramaic, but it contains several Greek words.
