Novellae on the Torah of Rabbenu Tam and his Academy חידושין על התורה לרבינו תם ובית מדרשו (BK-RTAH)

 Presenting exegetical commentaries, and 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 shel Rabbenu Tam al ha-Torah. Supported by MS Paris 167/2 (Byzantium 1443).

A unique Tosafot composition to the Torah, undoubtedly one of the earliest composed by the French Tosafists.

The lengthy scholarly introduction (101 pp.) reinforces the attribution of the work to Rabbenu Tam and his academy, and comprehensively treats the unique genre of the Tosafists exegesis on the Torah in general.

With variant readings and erudite notes and commentary, placing the work within its talmudic and midrashic context and comparing it to other Tosafot-like commentaries to the Torah. Accompanied by detailed indices.

Edited by Rabbi Avraham Shoshana and contributors: Rabbi Avigdor Arieli, Rabbi Yisrael Schneider
