- Title
'Exegesis in Perpetual Motion': The Short Commentary of Ibn Ezra as a Source for Rashbam in his Commentary on the Pentateuch.
- Authors
Kislev, Itamar
- Abstract
The question of the affinities between the Pentateuch commentaries of Rashbam and Ibn Ezra is crucial for the understanding of the development of the Peshat exegesis in Northern France. Scholars have investigated the possibility that Ibn Ezra's long commentary (written in France in 1153) was influenced by that of Rashbam; however, the possibility that the short commentary of Ibn Ezra (written in Italy in the middle of the fifth decade of the 12th century) influenced Rashbam's Pentateuch commentary has hardly been taken into account. A comprehensive examination of the latter two commentaries reveals important similarities between them, far more than mere correspondences between two commentaries with similar tendencies, suggesting that Rashbam's commentary was indeed influenced by the short commentary of Ibn Ezra.
