1. Zunz, <I>Salomon ben Isaac, genannt Rascht</I>, in Zunz's <I>Zeitschrift fur die Wissenschaft des Judenthums</I>, 1823, pp.277-384. Additions by Zunz himself in the preface to <I>Gottesdienstliche Vortrage</I>, and in the catalogue of the library at Leipsic, by Berliner in the <I>Monatsschrift</I> xi and xii, by Klein, <I>ibid</I>. xi. One appreciates the originality of this study all the more if one reads in the <I>Histoire litteraire de la France</I>, xvi., the passage in which are collected all the legends retailed concerning Rashi in the world of Christian scholars at the time when Zunz wrote.
Zunz's essay was translated into Hebrew and enriched with notes by Samson Bloch, <I>Vita R. Salomon Isaki</I>, Lemberg 1840, 8. Second edition by Hirschenthal, Warsaw, 1862. The essay was abridged by Samuel Cahen in the <I>Journal de l'Institute historique, I</I>, and plagiarized by the Abbe Etienne Georges, <I>Le rabbin Salomon Raschi</I> (sic) in the <I>Annuaire administratif … du departement de l'Aube</I>, 1868. <I>Compare</I> Clement-Mullet, <I>Documents pour servir a l'histoire du rabbin Salomon fils de Isaac</I> in the <I>Memoires de la Societe d'Agriculture … de l'Aube</I>, xix.

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.
Chap. VI. - On Moses ha-Darshan there is a monograph by A.
Epstein, Vienna 1891; and on Menahem ben Helbo one by S.
