APPENDIX II
BIBLIOGRAPHY
A. THE WORKS OF RASHI

A critical revision of Rashi's works remains to be made. They
were used to such an extent, and, up to the time when printing
gave definiteness to existing diversities, so many copies were
made, that some of the works were preserved in bad shape, others
were lost, and others again received successive additions.
1. BIBLICAL COMMENTARIES. - They cover nearly all the twenty -
four books of the Bible.
Job. - "On Job the manuscripts are divided into series,
according to whether or not they break off at xl. 28 of the
text. The one Series gives Rashi's commentary to the end; the
other, on the ground that Rashi's death prevented him from
finishing his work, completes the commentary with that of
another rabbi, R. Jacob Nazir" (Arsene Darmesteter). Geiger
attributes this Supplementary commentary, which exists in
several versions, to Samuel ben Meir; others attribute it to
Joseph Kara. Some regard it as a compilation; others, again,
assert that the entire commentary was not written by Rashi.
