THE WORKS OF RASHI A critical revision of Rashi's works remains to be made. They were used to such an extent, and, up to the time when printing gave definiteness to existing diversities, so many copies were made, that some of the works were preserved in bad shape, others were lost, and others again received successive additions. 1. BIBLICAL COMMENTARIES. - They cover nearly all the twenty - four books of the Bible. <I>Job</I>. - "On Job the manuscripts are divided into series, according to whether or not they break off at xl. 28 of the text. The one Series gives Rashi's commentary to the end; the other, on the ground that Rashi's death prevented him from finishing his work, completes the commentary with that of another rabbi, R. Jacob Nazir" (Arsene Darmesteter). Geiger attributes this Supplementary commentary, which exists in several versions, to Samuel ben Meir; others attribute it to Joseph Kara. Some regard it as a compilation; others, again, assert that the entire commentary was not written by Rashi. <I>Ezra</I> and <I>Nehemiah</I>.- Some authors deny that Rashi composed commentaries on <I>Ezra</I> and <I>Nehemiah</I>.
