Mehlman and Limmer cover the history of scholarship of these curious texts and evaluate the origins, dating, and authors of Medieval Midrash. In addition to addressing such scholarly questions, Medieval Midrash illustrates its themes and judgments through the annotated translation of the six extant texts that revolve around the key figure of King Solomon. This book, whose underlying tropes speak to the continuing need for creative religious expression, will be of interest to scholars and non-academics alike.Brill reference library of Judaism ;Volume 52.MidrashHistory and criticismMidrashHistory and criticism.296.1406Mehlman Bernard H.1937-1246526Limmer Seth M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136649203321Medieval Midrash2890220UNINA
