Abstract
In her article, Nadia Vidro quotes an unknown passage from the Karaite halakhic treatise of Jacob al-Qirqasānī (d. 927) that is missing in the Nemoy edition. The section deals with the methods of calculating the Hebrew calendar used by various Jewish sects throughout history. According to the author, this passage is related to R. Saʿadya Gaon’s “Book of Distinction” (Kitāb al-tamyīz) and includes entire passages from his commentary on Genesis. The article provides the missing part of the Nemoy edition, as well as a critical edition and an English translation of an excerpt that deals with the calendars of various streams in Judaism.
在她的文章中,Nadia Vidro从Jacob的Karaite halakhic论文al-Qirqasānī (d. 927)中引用了一段未知的段落,该段落在Nemoy版本中缺失。这一部分讨论了历史上各种犹太教派使用的希伯来历的计算方法。根据作者的说法,这段话与R. Sa al- adya Gaon的“Book of Distinction”(Kitāb al-tamyīz)有关,包括他对《创世纪》注释中的整个段落。这篇文章提供了Nemoy版本的缺失部分,以及一个批评版本和一段摘录的英文翻译,该摘录涉及犹太教各种流派的日历。
