R. Ishmael b. Elisha's 13 hermeneutical rules for the study of the Torah with an apparently unprinted commentary. They are commenly known as the Baraita shel Shelosh Esreh Middot with which the Sifra opens and are recited in the morning daily prayers. The rabbis saw the Pentateuch as a unified, Divinely communicated text, consistent in all its parts. It was consequently possible to uncover deeper meanings and to provide for a fuller application of its laws by adopting certain principles of interpretation (middot; "measures," "norms").
R. Jehiel Nahman Foa (17th cent.) was a student and disciple of R. Moses Zacuto. A reknowned bibliophile, his collection included many important halakhic manuscripts from early rabbinical scholars as well as several illuminated manuscipts on vellum. |
