Add your own review!

Overview

This volume consists of an edition of the Arabic translation and commentary on the book of Job by one of the preeminent litterateurs of the Karaite “Golden Age” (10th–11th centuries), Yefet ben ʿEli ha-Levi. Yefet’s complete translation and commentary on Job, published for the first time, provides fascinating insight into the history and development of exegetical thought on this book, both among the Karaites as well as the Rabbanites. In preparing this edition, all extant twenty-five manuscripts have been consulted, most of them from the Firkovitch Collection. Their length varies from 1 to 340 folios and in total they contain ca. 2,850 folios.

Reviews

"""It was only in 2019 that the first critical edition of the entire text of Yefet’s translation and commentary on the book of Job, prepared by Arik Sadan, was published by Brill. To execute this truly monumental project, he used all of the twenty-five available manuscripts containing Yefet’s commentary on Job preserved in various European and non-European collections (...) The number of sources employed by Sadan is impressive, and the editing policy that he adopted is equally so."" - Marzena Zawanowska, University of Warsaw, in Journal of Jewish Languages 11 (2023)."
