AGADATH SHIR HASHIRIM 
 
 The following Midrash to the book, Song of Songs, is 
 taken from a Parma MS., Cod, De Rossi, 541. It is, to my 
 knowledge, unique ; but, unfortunately, the text is very 
 corrupt and defective. Some passages are also misplaced. 
 Still its matter is almost entirely fresh, and it gives us at 
 least the structure or skeleton of that Midrash to the Song 
 of Songs, which was used by many of the old authorities, as 
 E.. Juda of Barcelona, Rashi, R. Simon, the compiler of the 
 Talkot, R. Moses Tako, R.Abraham b.Maimon,Nachraanides, 
 the unknown author of the n^^-nasm C^wnn >XD^^^', R 
 Machir b. Abba Mari, the compiler of various Hagadic col- 
 lections to certain prophetical books, and others, but which 
 has been lost to us for several centuries. This assertion 
 could not be satisfactorily proved without giving various 
 specimens of the contents of the Midrash, and thus showing 
 how they corresponded with the quotations of Rashi, R. 
 Simon, etc. This would, however, cause usele.ss repetition. 
 Hence, I intend to publish first the whole of the text, 
 which will be followed by notes giving the parallels and 
 corrections as far as they can be gathered from the 
 cognate literature both in print and in manuscripts ; 
 whilst in a postscript at the end I shall tr}- to fix the 
 date of our Midrash, as well as to establish its relation 
 to the so-called Midrash Cha&itha of the editions and to 
 the rest of the Hagadic literature. I hope that other 
 unknown Midrashic pieces will follow. 
 
 In thus beginning to edit materials collected in various 
 libraries in Italy, it is my pleasant duty to express my 
 gratitude to the University of Cambridge, which offered 
 me the means of travelling in the country of Azaryah 
 De Rossi and Samuel David Luzzatto. M}^ thanks are

 also due to the Italian Government, which not only- 
 opened before me all the treasures I desired to see, but 
 also permitted, on the application of the English Foreign 
 Office, that certain MSS. should be sent to me to Cam- 
 bridge, where I could examine and copy them with greater 
 ease. In the Vatican Library the same liberality was 
 shown to me, and I feel very thankful to its Prefettos. 
 I am likewise under great obligations to all the librarians 
 and to the assistants at the various libraries in which I 
 worked during my stay in Italy, especially so to my 
 friend, Dr. Leonello Modona of Parma, by whose liberality 
 and kind help alone I was enabled to undergo the amount 
 of work which the treasures of De Rossi involve upon the 
 student of Jewish literature, and whose readiness to in- 
 struct and to inform is a constant aid to the inquirer, 
 even after he has left this fair country.

COERECTIONS AND NOTES TO AGADATH 
 SHIR HASHIRIM. 
 
 Ix the corrections and notes to the text of the Agadath Shir 
 Hashirim, which has appeared in this Review (Vol. VI., pp. 673- 
 697, and Vol. VII. pp. 145-163), frequent use Avas made of the 
 following works, which therefore it will be convenient to quote 
 by initials. They are: — 
 
 1. MS. De Rossi (in Parma), No. 626, the first five leaves of 
 which contain fragments of our text which have been copied for 
 me by M. Alberto Orvieto, the present Rabbi of Parma. The 
 variations which this MS. offers are marked with F. 
 
 2. The Yalkut Shimo?ii, who in his compilations to the Song 
 o/'aS'o??5's often made use of the Agadath Shir Hashirim. That 
 this Yalkut does not always refer to the editions was already 
 recognised by R. Meir Benveniste in his n?ON niX. I shall quote 
 this Yalkut with the initials YS., giving, when referring to Shir 
 Hashirim, the number of the paragraph and the page (of the 
 Frankfort edition). Of course, all these references refer to the 
 second part. To references to other parts of this Yalkut the 
 numbers I. or II. will be added, the former including the whole of 
 the Pentateuch, the latter extending over the Prophets and the 
 Hagiographa. 
 
 3. Yalkut Machiri, of which we have now the Yalkut on 
 Isaiah =YM.Is., printed by Mr. J. Spira (Berlin, 189-1); ihcYalkut 
 Machiri on the Minor Prophets (MS. in the British Museum 
 Harl., 570o)^YM.MP., and the Yalkut on Psalms (Oxford 
 MS., Cat. Neubauer, 167) = YM.Ps. 
 
 4. The Midrash Haggadol to the Pentateuch, MS. in my pos- 
 session = MH. 
 
 5. The Commentary on Song of Songs by R. Moses b. Samuel 
 Ibn Tabbon (Lyck, 1874) MT. In this Commentary passages 
 are occasionally given from N^f^l 'D n3"l TT'C'X")3, Avhich are 
 only to be found in our Agadath Shir Hashirim. I must, how- 
 ever, state that the Oxford MS, of this commentary (Cat. Neub, 
 1278) omits all those passages. They are indeed strange to the 
 whole tendency of this philosophic author. 
 
 6. The Midrashim to the Pentateuch, namely. Genesis Rahbah 
 
Corrections and Notes to Agadath S/iir Hashirim. 49 
 
 = GR., Exodus Rahbah = ER., Leviticus Rahhah = LR., Num- 
 bers Rahbah = NR., and Deuteronomy Rabbali = DR. To the 
 Shir Hashirim R(dd>ah, which is iilso called Midrask Chazitha 
 I shall refer with CH., givinj? always chapter and verse and 
 the paragraph within the latter, as in the Wilna edition. 
 
 7. Ahoth d'Rdhbi Nathan (ed. Schechter) = ARN. 
 
 8. The Pesikta d'R. Kahajia, ed. Buber = Pesikta K. (or PK.), 
 and the Pesikta Rabbathi, ed. Friedmann = Pesikta R. (or PR.). 
 
 All the other Midrashim as well as the various tractates of 
 the Babylonian and Jerusaleraic Talmudim will be quoted with 
 their full title. The parallels from MSS. will 1)6 given in full ; 
 with regard to those to be found in printed works, I shall mostly 
 confine myself to the mere reference which the reader is expected 
 to look up. In the effort to be brief I left it to the student 
 to supply the references to the quotations from the Scriptures, 
 which can be done easily enough with the aid of a concordance 
 and a Bible. Of those verses from the Bible which have been 
 corrupted in the quotation, a corrected list will be found in the 
 Addenda. On the other hand I spared no labour and no trouble 
 to furnish him with ample extracts from MSS. and rare prints 
 which either form parallels to the Agadath Shir Hashirim, or 
 may in some way throw light on the nature and the date of this 
 strange composition. 1 hope that in many cases these parallels 
 will prove helpful towards elucidating our corrupt text, though 
 many a riddle still remains.

 that the MH. to n?^'3 agrees with the McchiUn., except in the 
 
 n^rOJr m^ir, where he adds "IC'N Dn^:^•^ y^ TlDT vxh^ r\'\''^ N"T 
 nD7EJ'7 (perhaps after the Targuin of the Song of Songs). In an

 D^i3D n^yo"? nr T:r^. Cp. idso nion tiiv, 1 52c. YM.Ps., p. 2766, 
 
 gives also this passage of ni"l*t^ TJ'y in the name of Midrash 
 tJ'n"£J', agreeing fully with YM. Is., p. 37, in the whole passage. 
 The 'W3 in the ")X3n T•t^' is perhaps on account of Moses' death 
 being indicated there, according to the Midrashim. See NR. 
 XIX. 33, and Pseud-Jonathan to Num. xxi. 20. See also the Post

 16, ^Ivpl. Cp. Berachoth, \0b. Perhaps this was also one of the

 (pnaVii'nni y^m = miTa). See also Sifre, 135a and 142&. The

 ibid., on this part of the verse. Perhaps we sliould insert before

 that the patriarchs are to be preferred to Noah, etc. See also 
 ER., VI. 4. See Gen. ix. 20 m ]>\ 
 
 L. 351-352. innx — yiK^in\ There can hardly be any doubt

 POSTSCRIPT. 
 
 The first and only modern scholar who ever noticed our 
 Agadath Shir Hashirim is Zunz, in his Gottesdienstliche Vortrdye 
 (p. 277, n. I, 2nd ed.). But he only knew it, as it seems, through 
 a reference in De Rossi's Catalogue, and therefore attributed to it 
 little importance. In the foregoing Corrections and Notes, however, 
 it will be found that the following authorities have been quoted 
 in connexion with our Agadath Shir Hashirim — R. Solomon b. 
 Judah the Paitan, and his commentators E,. Josejih Cara and 
 R. Shemaya '; R. Tobyah b. Eliezer ; R. Meir b. Isaac; R. Solomon 
 b. Isaac {Eashi) ; R. Judah Barzilai of Barcelona ; R. Simon Cara, 
 the compiler of Yalkut Shimoni ; R. Hilled Kayavani ; R. Moses 
 Tako ; tlie anonymous author of ni''Sl1DN1 D"'X3n ''Din'' '-; R. Eleazar 
 of Worms ; R. Moses b. Nachman [Ramban) ; R. Asriel the 
 Cabbalist ; R. Abraham ben Maimon ; R. Isaac ibn Sahula ; R.

 ^ Since this was written Horr Epstein lias publisslied an essay in the 
 Monatsschrift, vol. XXXIX, in which ho proved beyond doubt that the 
 author of this work was R. Juda b. Kalonj'mos b. Meir of Speyer, who 
 llouriblied about the end of the twelfth century.

 Menachem of Rccanate ; R. Machir 1). Abba Mari, the compiler of 
 the Yalkut Machiri ; R. Bachye Ibii Clialava ; Iv. Jacob b. Asher ; 
 H. Simon Duraii ; the compiler of the Midrash lIa(j(jadol ; and 
 E,. Matatyah Delakrat. All these authorities give, more or less, 
 passages which are only to be found in our iMidrash, which most 
 of them quote by the title of K'n^'K' U^'^)2 or Z'n"u m:X or NmSK 
 B^n'Vl. It is ti'ue that neither E. Tobj'ah b. Eliezer nor Ibn Sahula 
 quotes our jNIidrash by name, but considering that their works form 
 commentaries to the Song of Songs, it is reasonable to assume that 
 they took their materials from older homilies based on the same 
 Scriptural book which just occupied their attention, which cannot 
 be anything else but our Agadath Shir Ilashirim. If any reasonable 
 doubt may be entertained it is only with regard to R. Bachye Ilni 
 Cbalava, whose authority in the flDpn *T3 are the Chapters of 
 R. Eliezer, and about R. ]\Iatatyah Delakrat, whose late age (i6th 
 century) makes it probable that his knowledge of our Agada was 
 only second hand. On the other hand, it is safe to assume that 
 R. Solomon b. Judah did make use of the Agadath Shir Ilashirim. 
 As a Paitan he naturally never mentions his sources, but there are 
 sufficient strophes in his Piyutim to make his knowledge of our 
 Midra?h fairly certain. 
 
 Considering now that R. Solomon b. Judah flourished about the 
 end of the tenth century, considering again that at least a genera- 
 tion or two would be required to give our Agada that Midrashic 
 iinj)ortance and air of antiquity that a Paitan would take it as 
 an acknowledged authority, worthy to become the subject of his 
 versifications, its composition must not therefore, if only on this 
 reason, be j^laced later than the middle of the tenth century. 
 
 Now it is true that there are other indications which would 
 point even to an earlier date. I am referring to certain Messianic 
 as well as mystical passages in our Agada, the relation of which 
 to some of the apocalypses edited by Jellinek in the various 
 volumes of his Beth Hammidrash is visible at a first glance ^ This 
 is especially the case with the in'D'N'' 'l 's, which in a number of 
 passages betrays such a strong resemblance to our Agada' that

 there is but little doubt that the one copied from the other. But as 
 the irT'tJ'N'' '"> 'a is essentially an eschatological Midrash, there was 
 hardly any reason for the compiler to give the various Derashoth 
 on the text lUHN niD^'y p \>V C^ID T'^DB' nnij^ unless he copied 
 it from our Agada, where such interpretations are in their proper 
 place. Now there is, as has been already pointed out by Jellinek, 
 a strong interdependence between the liT'B'N^ '"i 's and the other 
 apocalypses {especially the 1V^J2 >pl31 in^^N 'D and the DJ.TJ1 y"J)^ 
 whilst, on the other hand, there is a strong probability that Kalir 
 made use of such a class of Midrashim^. Added to all this, the 
 Paitan's distinct reference to the seventy names of Israel *, the fact 
 of Kalir's acquaintance with our Midrash becomes veiy probable. 
 We shall thus have to assign the date of our Agada somewhere 
 in the first half of the ninth century *. There are, however, grave 
 considerations against such an early date, as will easily be seen 
 after analysis of the sources of our Agada itself. 
 
 Even a superficial perusal of our Agada will convince the reader 
 that its relation to the Midrash Chasitha is but small. They may have 
 many minor details in common ; but the latter off'ers but very few 
 parallels to those passages which constitute the most characteristic 
 features of our Agada. As such we may consider most of the 
 Agadoth to the first verse of the Song of Songs (1. 1-225), the 
 long Derasha on Zedakah (I. 464-781), and the various Messianic 
 interpretations (1. 338-344, 1094-1 142). With regard to the latter, 
 there is hardly a Rabbinic work which would more readily suggest 
 itself as the source of this kind of eschatological Agadoth than 
 the Chapters of R. Eliezer. The quotation in the name of R. Eleazar 
 (1. iioi)^ as well as the attributing of a whole Messianic apoca- 
 lypse to such an early authoi-ity as Simon b. Shetach (or even

 Simon b. Zoma)', iwint strongly to the Chapters. It is true that 
 the passages to which we liave referred are not to be found in our 
 version of the Chapters ; but this is well known to be imperfect ^ 
 and thus it is not impossible that the Chapters made use of by the 
 compiler of our Agada was more complete, containing also the 
 said passages. 
 
 More certain, however, is the relation of our Agada to the 
 Yelamdenu. Even before the discovery of the former, Epstein, 
 who, to my knowledge, was the first to call attention to the fact 
 that the earlier authorities had two different Midrashim to Shir 
 Ilashirim, suggested that there must have once existed a Pesikta 
 to Shir Hashirim, quoted by some writers as Yelamdenu^. His 
 hypothesis was chiefly based on a quotation by R. Moses Ibn Tabun. 
 Now the quotation is somewhat uncertain*. Besides, the well- 
 known formula of " Let our Master teach us," i:"'2"i IHOPV which 
 is the main characteristic of the Yelamdenu, is entirely absent in 
 our Agada. But still, nevertheless, we find the relation between 
 these two Midrashim so strong that, if our Agada is not identical 
 with Yelamdenu, it must be considered at least as a recast of many 
 Yelamdenu passages bearing on the Song of Songs. 
 
 As such passages we recognize the very first sentence of our 
 Agada, to which only the Yelamdenu offers a real parallel ^. The

 using earlier authorities for the revelation of new truths. See Ziinz, 
 Gottesdienslliche Vortrcige, p. 286, note d, with regard to R. Eleazar b. Arach. 
 
 ^ See Zunz, i'fct'f?., pp. 284-5. The newer Yemen literature, especially, con- 
 tains much the origin of which can only be sought in the Chapters ; which 
 again strengthens Zunz's theory of the incompleteness of this work.

 but from the fact that the aTJ; np"; quotes it as n"-\ we may safely

104 Corrections and Notes to Agadath Shir Hashirim.. 
 
 passage regarding the things created before the world ^ is probably 
 taken from the Yelamdenu, some parallel to which is still retained 
 in the Exod. Eabbah. The same we may also assume of the 
 Derasha relating to the three Songs, for which the Yelamdenu 
 offers the best parallel ^ The interpretation of "IDJ? by adolescens 
 (1. 866) suggests Yelamdenu to Num. xxiii. lo; and so also the 
 allegories with regard to the Patriarchs (1. 953-56), as well as 
 the Derasha on Ezek. xxxvi (1. 1078), seem to be derived from 
 the same source ^. More important is the long Zedakah-Derasha, 
 extending over more than three hundred lines, the source of which 
 can only be sought in the Yelamdenu'^. This whole Derasha, 
 occupying now about a fourth part of our Agada, is quite out of 
 place in a Midrash to the Song of Songs, and can only be explained 
 by assuming that it was the set j)urpose of its author to give us 
 a compilation of Yelamdenu Derashoth bearing on the Song of 
 Songs, and he thus felt justified in reproducing from it whole 
 Derashoth, even when their interpretatory value for the Song of 
 Songs is not quite evident. The exj)ression DM7N for T\2"\>T\, 
 fairly frequent in our Agada, may also be considered as a proof 
 of the use our compiler made of the Yelamdenu ^. If this be the 
 case, then it is possible that Kalir, as well as the compilers of 
 the various Messianic Midrashim to which I have referred, used 
 the same sources which were at the disposal of the Agadath Shir 
 Hashirim. It will thus be safest not to speak with any degree of 
 certainty before the quotations from it become direct and frequent, 
 which is about the end of the tenth century.

 the Talmud Torah in the name of the Yt'lamdenu, while, according to 
 Buber's Mdbo to the Tanchuma (62 a), a similar passage is contained in 
 a Tanchuma MS. in Oxford. The fact that the extracts given above on 
 these lines, as well as on I. 648-702, from the MH. occur in apy 't, and 
 that the Or Zaruah also cites Zedakah-Derashoth from the Yelamdenu to 
 this Parasha, makes it clear that both had the same source.
