Mekhilta De-rabbi Shimon
Bar Yohai (Edward E. Elson Classic) by W. David Nelson
Book Description
The Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai is a
collection of classical midrashic
interpretation of the biblical Book of Exodus.
Lost for centuries, the text was reconstructed
and recovered in the 19th and 20th centuries
by both German and Israeli scholars from a
variety of source materials, including
medieval manuscripts of the text and midrashic
anthologies. |

|
As one of the
first collections of rabbinic biblical
interpretation, the Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai is an
indispensable source for understanding the
history, beliefs, and practices of the
earliest rabbis.
This edition, translated and explicated for
the first time in English by W. David Nelson,
is The Jewish Publication Society's latest
contribution to making ancient Jewish
literature accessible to modern readers. A
critical introduction provides the reader with
a firm grounding in the historical setting of
the text, as well as its source material,
reconstruction, subject matter, and
significance for understanding the history of
Judaism. Set in a modern, readable typeface,
the Hebrew text faces the English translation
with the author's annotation beneath. Indexes
include scriptural verse citations and
rabbinic sages named in the text. |
