Perush ῾al hafṭarot

Contents

A Judeo-Arabic commentary on the Hafṭarot of Numbers.

Language(s): Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic

ff. 2r-130v
Title: Perush ῾al hafṭarot
Title: פרוש על הפטרות

The pointed and partly accentuated Hebrew biblical text is embodied. The punctuation differs in parts from the standard masoretic recension.

The commentary is anonymous, but from the information on folio 4r and 6v it can be inferred that he lived in Egypt.

The works quotes several authorities, including Targum Jonathan, Rashi, Abu’l Walid and Abraham ibn Ezra.
