New publications

Another forthcoming article in JSIJ - also about Rashi. Jordan Penkower's article, which documents all of the glosses to Rashi's commentary on the Pentateuch found in MS. Leipzig, appeared a few weeks ago. Now it is joined by Barak Cohen's (shorter!) piece on Rashi's comments on Amoraim. His conclusion is that Rashi did not have access to Iggeret Rav Sherira Gaon - nor to R. Yosef Tov Elem (Bonfils), who did.

The Yonah Fraenkel festschrift is about to appear, and the table of contents is available online.
