P. 36, l. 20. “_Asirim Rabba_” = Shir Ha-Shirim Rabba. Midrashic exposition of the Song of Songs (_supra_, “Beresit Rabba”). P. 36, l. 27. “_Jalcut._” A collection of Midrashim covering the whole of the Scriptures, and compiled in the eleventh century by R. Simeon b. Chelbo, whence it is called the Yalkut Shimeoni (Zunz, “Gottesdienst,” pp. 183 and 309). P. 36, l. 31. “_Bamibar Rabba_”: misprint for Bamidbar Rabba, the Midrashic exposition of Numbers. P. 37, l. 12. “_R. Selomoh Jarchi._” Solomon b. Isaac of Troyes, called Rashi (1040–1105), the most eminent Hebrew Bible commentator of the Middle Ages. The name Jarchi was erroneously given to Rashi by Raymund Martini, Munster, and Buxtorf, who imagined that he was a native of Lunel (‏ירח‎ = _luna_). Menasseh ben Israel was the first Jewish scholar to adopt this blunder (Wolf, “Biblio. Heb.” vol. i. 1057, &c.; Graetz, “Geschichte,” vol. vi. pp. 77 _et seq._; Wolf, “The Treves Family in England”). P. 37, l. 15. “_R. Mardochus Japhe._” Bohemian Rabbi (1530–1612) (Graetz, “Geschichte,” vol. ix. pp. 465–467).

Moses Gerundensis._” Moses ben Nachman (1200–1272), also called Nachmanides, and Ramban. Christian scholars sometimes speak of him as Gerundensis from his birthplace, Gerona.

His public disputation at Barcelona with Pablo Christiani in 1263 is famous (Graetz, “Geschichte,” vol. vii. pp. 131–136, Schechter “Studies in Judaism,” art. “Nachmanides”).

He laid the foundation of the Sifre, the Halachic, or legal exposition of Numbers and Deuteronomy. He figures in Jewish legend as the greatest master of the Cabbala. He was not the author of the Zohar. Internal evidence stamps that work as a product of the thirteenth century, and its authorship is now ascribed to Moses ben Shemtob de Leon (Hamburger, “Real-Encyclopädie,” arts. Simon b. Jochai, Sifre, and Sohar). P. 45, l. 22. “_Rabbi Seadiah_” = Saadja ben Joseph or Saadja Gaon (892–942).
