The Second Rabbinic Bible (Mikraot Gedolot yo) (מקראות גדולות) Volume II
The Second Rabbinic Bible, also known as Mikraot Gedolot, is a Hebrew Bible that was compiled and published in the 16th century by the Venetian rabbi Jacob ben Hayyim ibn Adonijah. It is called the "second" Rabbinic Bible because it was published after the first Rabbinic Bible, which was produced by the Spanish rabbi Felix Pratensis in the 15th century.
The Mikraot Gedolot is a monumental work that includes the Hebrew text of the Bible, along with the Aramaic translation (Targum), several classic commentaries, and various other annotations and interpretations. The commentaries include the works of prominent Jewish scholars such as Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Nahmanides, as well as several medieval French and German commentaries.
The Mikraot Gedolot is considered a major resource for the study of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition. It has been widely used and studied by scholars, rabbis, and laypeople for centuries. The second edition of the Mikraot Gedolot, published in 1617, is considered the standard edition and is still widely used today.
Sure, I can explain what the Second Rabbinic Bible (Mikraot Gedolot) is.
The Mikraot Gedolot is a Hebrew-language Bible commentary that was first published in 1517. It is also known as the "Rabbinic Bible" because it includes the Hebrew text of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) along with various commentaries written by Jewish rabbis.
The first edition of Mikraot Gedolot was edited by the rabbi and scholar Yaakov ben Hayyim, who compiled and translated the commentaries of earlier Jewish scholars such as Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Nahmanides. The purpose of the Mikraot Gedolot was to create a comprehensive and authoritative commentary on the Hebrew Bible that would be accessible to all Jews.
Over the centuries, the Mikraot Gedolot has become one of the most important Jewish biblical commentaries, and it is still widely used today by scholars and students of the Hebrew Bible. It is also considered an important historical document, as it reflects the intellectual and religious traditions of Jewish scholars over the centuries.
