Publisher's Synopsis
Presenting, for the most part, talmudic, midrashic and halakhic discussions according to the order of the Torah. Based on ms Moscow Guenzburg 362/8 (Candia 1400), whose colophon describes the work as: pesakim shel Rabbenu Tam she-hem kemo Tosafot al Perush Rabbenu Shelomoh. The manuscript begins with the phrase: athil hiddushim al ha-Torah l'Rabbenu Tam. Supported by ms Paris 167/2 (Byzantium 1443). All the Torah comments are almost within halakhic or talmudic context. A unique Tosafot composition to the Torah, undoubtedly one of the earliest composed by the Tosafists. With a scholarly introduction supporting the identity of the work to Rabbenu Tam. With variant readings and erudite notes and commentary, placing the work within its talmudic context and comparing it to other Tosafot-like commentaries to the Torah, and detailed indices.
