Summary

This volume contains the complete Hebrew text of Rashi's Commentary on Psalms 1-89 faithfully transcribed from one of the most reliable medieval manuscripts (Vienna Heb. ms. 220), as well as a fully annotated translation into contemporary idiomatic English, and a comprehensive introduction to the commentary and the life and work of the commentator. Just as the Book of Psalms has been called a kind of Bible in miniature so is Rashi's Commentary of Psalms a Rashi in miniature. This book is a useful introduction not only to the Book of Psalms but also to Rashi's methodologies for students and scholars as well as non-specialists. In addition to placing Rashi's commentary in dialogue with ancient, medieval and modern biblical exegesis, the commentary guides readers to use the translation to gain access to Rashi in the original Hebrew.
