excellent book * Canadian Jewish News * After finishing this book, one feels that one has just put down a great piece of scholarship. A book that is deserving of its forthcoming awards. One that will now be on the reading list of every Jewish educator who teaches Rashi and on the reading list of every graduate student. The years put into this project show in the wonderful final product. ... This book is groundbreaking for opening up new avenues of research on Rashi's thought, on medieval intellectual trends, and on the exegetic imagination. * Alan Brill, Cooperman/Ross Endowed Professor in the Department of Religion at Seton Hall University * an essential contribution to the discussion...Lawee's research covers centuries of reactions to Rashi from Jews around the world...[an] excellent book. * Martin Lockshin, The Canadian Jewish News *
