Rabbinic Texts

Recommended Posts

On the occasion of the 15th World Congress of Jewish Studies, we are happy to announce a new series of Rabbinic texts.

 

The Tosefta and the Mekhilta de Rabbi Ishmael are now released and available for download.

 

The Mekhilta de Rabbi Ishmael is a halakhic midrash (commentary) on Exodus 12-23, 31 and 35. This untagged module is the electronic text of the Munich Codex of Mekhilta de Rabbi Yishmael.

 

The Tosefta is a supplement to the Mishnah. It is another compilation of the Jewish oral law from the that period. This untagged module is the electronic text of the first printed edition of the Tosefta, Venice, 1521-22, as included with Isaac Alfasi's Halakhot.

 

The electronic texts were provided by the Primary Textual Witnesses Project (PTWP) of Bar Ilan University, directed by Prof. Shamma Friedman.

 

The purchase price of these modules will be credited towards a future bundle of Rabbinic texts which is currently in preparation.

Version 2.0 of the Mekhilta offers improved scrolling with the Biblical text. The paragraphs have been subdivided to match the verse numbers more closely.

 

The Mekhilta was released together with the Tosefta a few weeks ago, and we are already offering a free upgrade, which can be downloaded here.

The third text of our new Rabbinic series is SIFRE-NUM. The Sifre BeMidBar (Numbers) is a halakhic commentary on parts of Numbers attributed to Rabbi Shimeon. This module is the electronic text of the MS Oxford Bodleian 151.

 

These modules, including the upgrade to the Mekhilta, can be downloaded here.
