| Abstract | In recent years, the Bible commentaries by R. Samuel ben Meir, R. David Kimhi, and R. Jacob ben Asher (Baal ha-Turim) have been studied mainly by working with printed editions. This has not only led to the creation of 'author(s)', but also to the perception of certain editions as quasi-'canonical'. However, Medieval manuscripts often transgress the borders between religious-cultural (Ashkenazic; Sefardic) or religious domains (Jewish; Christian) and defy modern conventions of integrity and structure. Therefore, these attributions remain problematic. This session will focus on the manuscript tradition of the commentaries by Rashbam, Radaq, and Jacob ben Asher. In presenting current research on these commentaries' manuscript heritage, the papers will reflect on questions like authorship and Pseudo-traditions, glosses and glossing, commentaries and reading communities, or censhorship. |
