Rashi's commentary on the Babylonian Talmud

Rashi's commentary on the Babylonian Talmud is an eleventh century manuscript work with no single date of composition; Rashi's death in 1105 fixes only an upper bound on when it was finished, a limit this atlas states rather than inventing a specific year. Its comment at Sukkah 45a on the phrase ani va-ho is the earliest clear surviving attestation of deriving the seventy two names from the specific verses of Exodus, a checkable textual claim rather than a general appeal to Rashi's standing. Use it to establish what this specific commentary says and when a given interpretive tradition can first be traced to it.

Reliability Tier
1
A medieval rabbinic commentary by one of Judaism's most authoritative traditional exegetes, a primary text of Jewish scriptural interpretation cited for its own recorded reading rather than for independent historical verification.
Notes
PublicationYear left NULL deliberately: a manuscript commentary of the later eleventh century, with no single date of composition. Rashi died in 1105, which fixes an upper bound. The comment at Sukkah 45a on the phrase ani va-ho is the earliest clear attestation of the derivation of seventy-two names from Exodus 14:19-21.
