From tradition to commentary : Torah and its interpretation in the Midrash Sifre to Deuteronomy
Annotation Examines Torah and its interpretation as a recurring theme in the early rabbinic community. Fraade (Judaism, Yale) studies ancient rabbinic scriptural commentary in relation to the perspectives of literary and historical criticisms, and discusses the nature of ancient commentary, comparing and contrasting it with the antecedents in the pesharim of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the allegorical commentaries of Philo of Alexandria.
