L. 804-1To. t)WIyj .. . - -1 YS. 1 7 7 a, b. See also IiHishneh

parallels (especially Midrash Tillim, cxiv, J~ nly 'i ~in

i~~ niiri). In 1. 8i6 we must correct im~ nsnnn m '~Im i-3flpf1 K?m. Perhaps we should also correct in 1. 820 N~Nl

p .V containing a Derasha of an opposite tendency on rnl See Sifre, 64 b, and Chapters of iR. Eliezer, c. 42 and note 36.

L. 822-25. JIVIN . ll . " See above, 1. i 95, with regard to Abraham. See also Apocrypha to the 0. T., The Songr of the

Three Holy Children, who are yi,"t:n. Perhaps the ;rn4 of Daniel

has some connexion with the well-known legend of Habakkuk's

visit to Daniel in the lion's den. Cp . Neubauer's ed. Book of TLobit,

have been in our text, but it is difficult to say what the exact

words were in 1. 836 (vl'l: . , . 1pn3). L. 838 read Dnw1 instead of Dn.

L. 840-41. nn.: . ... *: n. See above, 1. 345, and cp. GR.

CORRECTIONS, ETC., TO AGADATH SHIR HASHIRIM 291

L. 859-63. lnrnn., . p. YS. 177 d (nrnn ,, t, , 1. 860-63). See Pesikta R., 4 b.

L. 864-65. MDlI .,, n.nt . See Ci. II, 9, ? i, and parallels; see also Aruch, s. v. ,rN'tq (tlhe quotation from the Mlechilta, 36 b

,rM'S lrn'tyl). This is then tle answer to Wnpyi ni ,1r. L. 865-68. DI a ,,,. m". Probably some corruption in the

text which makes the sense so obscure. I can only guess that we have here some allusion to YS. I, 243 c in the name of the Yelamdenu and Targum Jerushalmi to Num. xxxiii, which Derashoth seem to read 3ply n' = Nnvw rlni or p1,n6W1. The py.,,,. b would then be only another version of the preceding Derasha, whilst the citation lbr in n n rnfn nt ,,n should be put before -tmz in 1. 866. The last words of which YPtZl i^ 7tqN remind somewhat of D3J1 nt1nl n^. See CH. II, 9. In the npn to this verse: jIp=1? nirnn tUl n ' i lvpni ntinrn NJnl ,11 n n1 .

L. 868-78. nrln ... 'l. YM.Is. I5o in the name of rnrn

ER. XXI, 5. Instead of 'p nKSi read n- 'P1D. Still the passage is very corrupt.

L. 904-10. nlY ... , IM rni. Perhaps we should insert at

the beginning of the passage :'1n 'nrn D l 13 41- " (CH. ibid.

? 7; cp. also ? 25) to which the following story would serve as

an illustration. In 1. 908 we should perhaps read m?l1D nz wlnp.




L. 910-I4. anrm, * , -"T YS. 178 b in a shortened form.

Cp. Mechilta, I4 b, where he speaks of t'D. In 1. 912 read 'n:l instead of 'nyDz. Perhaps we ought to read nn':. See

Mechilta, 65 b.

we might correct our passage in the following way: 4ii nma t"N3

POSTSCRIPT.

The first and only modern scholar who ever noticed our

Agadath Shir Hashirim is Zunz, in his Gottesdienstliche Vortrege (p. 277, n. I, 2nd ed.). But he only knew it, as it seems, through a reference in De Rossi's Catalogue, and therefore attributed to it little importance. In the foregoing Corrections and Notes, however, it will be found that the following authorities have been quoted in connexion with our Agadath Shir Hashirim--R. Solomon b. Judah the Paitan, and his commentators R. Joseph Cara and R. Shemaya ; R. Tobyah b. Eliezer; R. Meir b. Isaac; R. Solomon b. Isaac (Rashi); R. Judah Barzilai of Barcelona; R. Simon Cara, the compiler of Yalkut Shimoni; R. Hillel Kayavani; R. Moses

Tako; the anonymous author of DWlrKnII Dbtn 4Djln 2; R.Eleazar of Worms; R. Moses b. Nachman (Ramban); R. Asriel the

Cabbalist; R. Abraham ben Maimon; R. Isaac ibn Sahula; R.

2 Since this was written Herr Epstein has published an essay in the Monatsschrift, vol. XXXIX, in which he proved beyond doubt that the author of this work was R. Juda b. Kalonymos b. Meir of Speyer, who flourished about the end of the twelfth century.

CORRECTIONS, ETC., TO AGADATH SHER HASHIRIM 317

Menachem of Recanate; R. Machir b. Abba Mari, the compiler of the Yalkut Machiri; R. Bachye Ibn Chalava; R. Jacob b. Asher; R. Simon Duran, the compiler of the Midrash Haggadol; and R. Matatyah Delakrat. All these authorities give, more or less, passages which are only to be found in our Midrash, which most of them quote by the title of w'i"W Wtnn or W'tl" nMrM or nrl't Wn'., It is true that neither R. Tobyah b. Eliezer nor Ibn Sahula quotes our Midrash by name, but considering that their works form commentaries to the Song of Songs, it is reasonable to assume.that they took their materials from older homilies based on the same Scriptural book which just occupied their attention, which cannot be anything else but our Agadath Shir Eashirim. If any reasonable doubt may be entertained it is only with regard to R. Bachye Ibn Clalava, whose authority in the nrpn i: are the Chapters of R. Eliezer, and about R. Matatyah Delakrat, whose late age (i6th century) makes it probable that his knowledge of our Agada was only second hand. On the other hand, it is safe to assume that R. Solomon b. Judah did make use of the Agadath Shir Hashirim. As a Paitan he naturally never mentions his sources, but there are sufficient strophes in his Piyutim to make his knowledge of our Midrash fairly certain.

Considering now that R. Solomon b. Judah flourished about the end of the tenth century, considering again that at least a genera- tion or two would be required to give our Agada that Midrashic

importance and air of antiquity that a Paitan would take it as an acknowledged authority, worthy to become the subject of his versifications, its composition must not therefore, if only on this reason, be placed later than the middle of the tenth century.

Now it is true that there are other indications which would

point even to an earlier date. I am referring to certain Messianic as well as mystical passages in our Agada, the relation of which to some of the apocalypses edited by Jellinek in the various volumes of his Beth Hammidrash is visible at a first glance . This is especially the case with the rWK' "n 'D, which in a number of

passages betrays such a strong resemblance to our Agada2 that

there is but little doubt that the one copied from the other. But as the v,'W '% 'a is essentially an eschatological Midrash, there was hardly any reason for the compiler to give the various Derashoth on the text "lnr K p D Z ?.w nTl', unless he copied it from our Agcada, where such interpretations are in their proper place. Now there is, as has been already pointed out by Jellinek, a strong interdependence between the InFWs ' ' and the other

apocalypses (especially the nvnD 'pmni iiN 'D and the y,'nl 't~)2, whilst, on the other hand, there is a strong probability that Kalir made use of such a class of Midrashim3. Added to all this, the Paitan's distinct reference to the seventy names of Israel 4, the fact of Kalir's acquaintance with our Midrash becomes very probable. We shall thus have to assign the date of our Agada somewhere in the first half of the ninth century5. There are, however, grave considerations against such an early date, as will easily be seen after analysis of the sources of our Agada itself.

Even a superficial perusal of our Agada will convince the reader that its relation to the Midrash Chasitha is but small. They may have

many minor details in common; but the latter offers but very few

parallels to those passages which constitute the most characteristic features of our Agada. As such we may consider most of the

Agadoth to the first verse of the Song of Songs (1. 1-225), the long Derasha on Zedakah (1. 464-78I), and the various Messianic

inlterpretations (1. 338-344, I094-1142). With regard to the latter, there is hardly a Rabbinic work which would more readily suggest itself as the source of this kind of eschatological Agadoth than the Chapters of R. Eliezer. The quotation in the name of R. Eleazar

Simon b. Zoma)', point strongly to the Chapters. It is true that the passages to which we have referred are not to be found in our version of the Chapters; but this is well known to be imperfect 2, and thus it is not impossible that the Chapters made use of by the

compiler of our Agada was more complete, containing also the said passages.

More certain, however, is the relation of our Agada to the Yelamdenu. Even before the discovery of the former, Epstein, who, to my knowledge, was the first to call attention to the fact that the earlier authorities had two different Midrashim to Shir

Hashirim, suggested that there must have once existed a Pesikta to Shir Hashirim, quoted by some writers as Yelamdenu3. His

hypothesis was chiefly based on a quotation by R. Moses Ibn Tabun. Now the quotation is somewhat uncertain4. Besides, the well- known formula of " Let our Master teach us," V11:n 1nr, which

is the main characteristic of the Yelamdenu, is entirely absent in our Agada. But still, nevertheless, we find the relation between these two Midrashim so strong that, if our Agada is not identical with Yelamdenu, it must be considered at least as a recast of many Yelamdenu passages bearing on the Song of Songs.

As such passages we recognize the very first sentence of our

Agada, to which only the Yelamdenu offers a real parallel 6. The

using earlier authorities for the revelation of new truths. See Zunz, Gottesdienstliche Vortrdge, p. 286, note d, with regard to R. Eleazar b. Arach.

2 See Zunz, ibid., pp. 284-5. The newer Yemen literature, especially, con- tains much the origin of which can only be sought in the Chapters; which again strengthens Zunz's theory of the incompleteness of this work.

but from the fact that the 21 nrp1 quotes it as "'i we may safely assume that his copy still contained it. Cp. Corrections and Notes to 1. 436-41. Some parallel to this Derasha (but not based on the text of arm 'nnr) may be found in CH. III, 8, I2, Tanchuma rip'1i ? 8, NR. XIV, ii, and Yelamdenu (at YS. II, ? 988).

passage regarding the things created before the world' is probably taken from the Yelamdenu, some parallel to which is still retained in the Exod. Rabbah. The same we may also assume of the Derasha relating to the three Songs, for which the Yelanmdent offers the best parallel . The interpretation of ' p.by adolescens

(1. 866) suggests Yelamdenu to Num. xxiii. 10; and so also the

allegories with regard to the Patriarchs (1. 953-56), as well as the Derasha on Ezek. xxxvi (1. 1078), seem to be derived from the same source 3. More important is the long Zedakah-Derasha, extending over more than three hundred lines, the source of which can only be sought in the Yelamden u4. This whole Derasha, occupying now about a fourth part of our Agada, is quite out of

place in a Midrash to the Song of Songs, and can only be explained by assuming that it was the set purpose of its author to give us a compilation of Yelamdenu Derashoth bearing on the Song of

Songs, and he thus felt justified in reproducing from it whole

Derashoth, even when their interpretatory value for the Song of

Songs is not quite evident. The expression V,5 for :l"'pin, fairly frequent in our Agada, may also be considered as a proof of the use our compiler made of the Yelamdenu5. If this be the

case, then it is possible that Kalir, as well as the compilers of the various Messianic Midrashim to which I have referred, used the same sources which were at the disposal of the Agadath Shir Hashirimn. It will thus be safest not to speak with any degree of

certainty before the quotations from it become direct and frequent, which is about the end of the tenth century.

The fact that the extracts given above on these lines, as well as on 1. 648-702, from the MH. occur in p2 'r, and that the Or Zaruah also cites Zedakah-Derashoth from the Yelamdenu to this Parasha, makes it clear that both had the same source.
