47-49).
Meilah. - It is more certain that the commentary on
Meilah was not written by Rashi. Numerous errors and
additions have been pointed out. According to a manuscript of
Halberstamm it would belong to Judah ben Nathan.
Keritot and
Bekorot. - The commentary on
Keritot is not Rashi's, and that on
Bekorot,
after 57b, according to Bezalel Ashkenazi, is also not
Rashi's.
3. PIRKE ABOT. - The commentary on the
Pirke Abot, printed
for the first time at Mentone In 1560, was cited by Simon ben
Zemah Duran (d. 1444) as being by Rashi. But Jacob Emden (d.
1776) denies Rashi's authorship, and justly so. One
manuscript attributes the commentary to Isaiah da Trani,
another to Kimhi. Though the numerous copies present
differences, it is not impossible that they are derived from a
common source, which might be Rashi's commentary; for despite
some diffuseness in certain passages, the present commentary
is in his style. The Italian laazim may have been made
by Italian copyists.
4. BERESHIT RABRAH. - The commentary on Bereshit Rabbah.
According to A. Epstein (Magazin of Berliner, xiv.
Ha-Hoker I), this commentary, incorrectly printed (the
first time at Venice, 1568), is composed of two different
commentaries. The basis of the first is the commentary of
Kalonymos ben Sabbatai, of Rome; the second is anonymous and
of later date.
