What Do They Study in Your Yeshivah? The Scope of Talmudic Commentary in Europe During the High Middle Ages
Description
Scholarly book chapter
Abstract
At the start of the eleventh century,
as the last of the great geonim were completing
their oeuvre that consisted principally of
responsa and halakhic monographs, leading
scholars in Germany and North Africa, such
as Rabbenu Gershom (960–1028) and his successors
in Mainz, and Rabbenu Hananel (d.
1056) and Rav Nissim b. Jacob (990–1062)
in Kairouan, were beginning to produce their
talmudic commentaries. By this time, most, if
not all, of the Babylonian Talmud had reached
these areas in the west, although the precise details of its transmission and the availability
of particular texts in any given area are di¥cult to pinpoint.1 (from Introduction)
