| Abstract: |
In his commentaries to the Pentateuch and to the Former and Latter Prophets, Andrew of St. Victor (died 1175) often refer to Jewish religious practices and traditions that have parallels in either the Talmud of Babylonia or the Palestinian one. From the date of its manuscripts (middle thirteenth century) it appears that the Latin version of the Talmud was written several decades after Andrew's death and thus could not have been his source. On the other hand, the Victorine transmits interpretations of Biblical texts similar or identical to those written by Jewish medieval authors contemporary with him. In this paper I propose to ascertain the origin of Andrew's references to Jewish traditions found in the Talmud, whether they were derived from earlier Latin sources or from Jewish authors earlier to or contemporary with him. I also try to work out whether or not the Victorine employs specific formulas or expressions to refer to the Talmud and whether he distinguishes between it and other interpretations by Jewish authors earlier to or contemporary with him (especially Rashi and R. Joseph Qara) or does not display any awareness of the difference between the various sources. |
