Chap. 1. - On the situation of the Jews In France in general, the following works may be read with profit: Zunz, <I>Zur Geschichte und Literatur</I>, Berlin, 1845. Gudemann, <I>Geschichte des Erziehungswesens und der Cultur der Juden in Frankreich und Deutschland</I>, Vienna, 1880, 8 (Hebrew translation by Frledberg under the title <I>Ha-Torah weha- Hayim</I>, ed. Achiassaf, Warsaw, 1896).Book II. Chap. V. - Concerning the <I>laazim</I> see A. Darmesteter in the <I>Romania</I> I.(1882), and various other essays reprinted in the <I>Reliques scientifiques</I>, Paris, 1890, vol. i. The deciphering of the <I>laazim</I> by Berliner in his edition of the commentary on the Pentateuch is defective, and that of Landau in his edition of the Talmud (Prague, 1829; 2d ed., 1839) is still more inadequate. A. Darmesteter's essay on the <I>laazim</I> of all the Biblical commentaries will soon appear.Book III. Chaps. XI-XII. - The history of Rashi's influence forms part of the general history of later rabbinical literature. Mention, therefore, may be made of the following works, besides the history of Graetz, the works of Geiger and of A. Levy, and the references in Winter und Wunsche, II:Previous chapter ←Book 1 — Chapter IVNext chapter →Book 2 — Chapter VAll chapters and sections (32)Opening pagesFront matterOther sectionsTRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCHChapters123456789101112Books1Book 1 · Chapters1234Books2Book 2 · Chapters5678910Books3Book 3 · Chapters1112Book 1 · Books1Book 2 · Books2Book 3 · Books3THE WORK OF RASHI← CHAPTER IVCHAPTER V →
