1. THE BIBLICAL COMMENTARIES 1. - According to A. Darmesteter
"twenty different editions have been counted of Rashi's
commentary, complete or partial, without the Hebrew text. As
for the editions containing the Bible together with Rashi's
commentary, their number amounts to seventeen complete
editions and 155 partial editions, of the latter of which 114
are for the Pentateuch alone." The list of these editions is
to be found in Furst, <I>Bibliotheca judaica</I> (Leipsic,
1849, 2d vol. 1851), II, pp.78 <I>et seq</I>.;
Steinschneider, <I>Catalogue of the Hebrew Books in the
Bodleian Library</I> (Berlin, 1852-1860), col. 2340-57; Ben
Jakob, <I>Ozar ha-Sefarim</I> (Wilna, 1887), pp.629 <I>et
seq</I>. The first two works enumerate also the super-
commentaries on Rashi.
II. <I>Latin Translations</I>. - Besides numerous partial
translations, also listed in the works of Furst and
Steinschneider, a complete translation exists by J. F.
Breithaupt, Gotha, 1710 (Pentateuch) and 1713-1714 (Prophets
and Hagiographa) in quarto.
