There was a commentary
on
Taanit cited by the Tossafot, which forms the basis
of the present commentary; and this may have belonged to the
school of Rashi.
Moed Katan. - The commentary on Moed Katan is
attributed by Reifmann to Gershom (Monatsschrift, III).
According to B. Zomber (Rashi's Commentary on Nedarim
and Moed Katan, Berlin, 1867), who shows that Gershom's
commentary is different, the extant commentary is a first
trial of Rashi's and was later recast by him. This would
explain the differences between the commentary under
consideration and the one joined to the En Jacob and to
Rif, which is more complete and might be the true commentary
by Rashi. These conclusions have been attacked by Rabbinowicz
(Dikduke Soferim, II), who accepts Reifmann's thesis.
Zomber replied in the Moreh Derek, Lyck, 1870; and
Rabbinowicz in turn replied in the Moreh ha-Moreh,
Munich, 1871. To sum up, both sides agree in saying that the
basis of the present commentary was modified by Rashi or by
some one else. According to I. H. Weiss various versions of
Rashi's Commentary were current. The most incomplete is the
present one. That accompanying Rif is more complete, though
also not without faults.
Nedarim. - The commentary on Nedarim, from 22b to
25b, may contain a fragment by R.
