This book is a reprint of the first publication of the complete manuscript of Pesiqta Rabbati, Volumes I-III (1997-2002), a major rabbinic work from the Land of Israel from the 5th-6th century. Based upon the annual cycle of Biblical passages for the Jewish Holy Days and special Sabbaths, the text demonstrates the artful form of the rabbinic homily and the midrash method of scriptural exegesis.
All extant Hebrew manuscripts as well as the 17th century editio princeps are presented here in a synoptic edition, allowing the reader to view the texts in adjacent columns without emendation. This edition contains English introductions and an index of Greek and Latin expressions, scriptural passages, exegetical terms, subjects, place names, personal names, names of Biblical figures, angels and historical figures, rabbinic authorities, as well as meshalim and ma'asim, emendations, addenda and corrigenda.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University Press of AmericaISBN-13:9780761843344ISBN-10:0761843345UPC:9780761843344Book Category:Social Science, ReligionBook Subcategory:Reference, JudaismBook Topic:Sacred WritingsSize:11.00 x 8.50 x 0.43 inchesWeight:0.481Product ID:SC0P3XV6KW
