Description
Book SynopsisFirst published five hundred years ago as the “Rabbinic Bible”, the biblical commentaries known as
Miqra'ot Gedolot have inspired and educated generations of Hebrew readers. With this fourth volume of the acclaimed English edition, the voices of Ibn Ezra, Nachmanides, and other medieval Bible commentators come alive once more, speaking in a contemporary English translation.
Trade Review“Anyone who is unfamiliar with medieval commentary, or who is unable to study the commentators in the original Hebrew, will find The Commentators’ Bible a worthy addition to their book shelves. Carasik has done a real service making this material available.”—The Reporter
"A handy and welcome contribution for those who want to read the key comments by the major Jewish medieval commentators."—Kenneth Bergland,
