Zer Rimonim: Studies in Biblical Literature and Jewish Exegesis Presented to Professor Rimon Kasher (International Voices in Biblical Studies) ... ... Voices in Biblical Studies) Hebrew, Bilingual edition

These original papers all in modern Hebrew were written in honor of Professor Rimon Kasher, emeritus professor of Bible at Bar-Ilan University, whose areas of expertise include, among other subjects, the Aramaic Targum, the book of Ezekiel, and biblical theology. The authors, scholars in a variety of Israeli universities, are specialists in the fields of Bible, the ancient Near East, medieval interpretation, and Masorah. Almost half the essays are devoted to Jewish interpretation of the Bible. Others feature the commentaries of figures such as Rashi, Qimhi, Rashbam, Ibn Ezra, Nachmanides, and Seforno; Karaitic and Byzantine interpretation; and all areas of the biblical canon: law, narrative, historiography, prophecy, and wisdom. The book includes an English table of contents, preface, biographical sketch, and abstracts.
