GENIZA- FRAGMENTS.
AMONG the many riddles which the Genizah offers,the
Gnomic fragment reproducedin the following pages was
among the first which caught my eye. The fragmenthas
a peculiar pathetic connexion with the name of David
Kaufmann,to whose memoryit is herewith dedicated. For
it was one of the first finds in the Genizah,and seeing that
it contains,as will be noted, a referenceto the five sensesas
the "five gates of Wisdom,"I made a mental note at once
to consult his monographDie Sinne, when again within
the reach of books. As a matter of fact he was constantly
before my eyes during my whole stay in Cairo, from
which place I sent to him the message of the success of
my mission. As the finds increased,and with them the
difficulties, the oftener my thoughts turned to him as
the last resortfor advice and instruction,especiallyin the
branches of fiction and philosophy. It was also myand I may say his-most cherishedwish that we should
do a certain portion of the Genizah work together.
A mysterious Providence willed it otherwise; and on
July II, 1899, the great, good, beloved David Kaufmann
was removed from us suddenly by death, and all these
plans were shattered. And so may the following speci-

men, which, had he been spared to us, would have been

edited by him, or at least under his guidance and by
his assistance, be offered here as a token of love and
devotion to the memory of one, "who shall surely live 1"
1. GNOMIC.
Fragment I consists of seven leaves (19-5 x I74 cm.),
and is written in square characters by an oriental hand,
probably not later than the twelfth century. The MS.,
deposited in the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America, is written in two columns, each page having
eighteen lines, except pp. vi and xi, and is also provided
with the superlinear punctuation The upper-stroke of
the 5 on the first lines is as a rule very long, measuring
sometimes almost 1I5 cm. Now and then we find a gloss or
a self-correction by the scribe. The different leaves were
found at long intervals, and their present sequence was
mainly concluded from the set of marks left on the paper,
when they still formed a book.
Leaf I, having been exposed more than the rest, suffered
badly, and is mostly illegible, whilst leaf 8 was torn off.
The contents of this MS. are of a gnomic and didactic
nature. The author, as will be seen from the notes, draws
a great deal both on the Bible and on the Talmud. Some
verses are even nothing more than a sort of paraphrase
of corresponding Biblical passages. But his mixed vocabulary, and such references to the five senses as we have
on pp. vi and vii, show distinctly that our author's sources
were not confined to Hebrew originals. He evidently
belonged to that class of Jewish authors, who were more
or less acquainted with Greek philosophy (through the
1 The first of these fragments was destined to form a part of the
Kaufmann Gedenkbuch,
published by Drs. Brann and Rosenthal, but the
MS. was misplaced, and not found till lately. My feeling of loyalty
towards my late friend does not allow me to cancel the matter in the
Introduction relating to him.

medium of the Arabic), and perhaps even engaged in

coining new philosophicalterms .
The text with which we have to deal offersmany obscure
passages; others again are disfigured by clerical errors.
On the whole our text seems to represent a praise of
Wisdom,which the author, after the manner of Ben Sira
and the Rabbis, already identifies with the Torah. But,
like the former, he seems to consider that the gift of
Wisdom to man has the consequenceof making him a
free agent and responsible for his actions. Hence his
dwelling so often on the doctrineof free will2
The riddle of this text consists in the difficulty with
which we are met when trying to identify it with any
literary product known to us. In this respect all my
efforts till now have been in vain; nor was I able to
fix on any Jewish writer to whom it could be attributed
with any degree of probability. One naturally thinks of
the "Men of Africa" who are credited by R. Saadyah
with having composed a book divided into verses and
providedwith accents3. Now the accents may have been
omittedby our scribe. But nothing is at present known of
the contents of that book, by which it could be identified.
There is also the objection,that whilst the men of Africa

THE JEWISH QUARTERLY REVIEW

seem to have had some Christian model1 for their composition, there is nothing in our text to suggest a Christian
origin. The polemic on ii. 8- I, against those who forget
Jerusalem,points in some way to a Karaitic authorship2,
but it is not clear what is meant by in4: nnw3 (ibid.,
1. 8 and xi. 8), whilst there is also the difficulty that the
author certainly used a good deal of Rabbinical matter.
I must thus leave the bibliographicalproblem an open
question,whilst awaiting anxiously a satisfactorysolution.
I must also remark that since the above was written,
therehas beenpublishedby Dr. Harkavy,in the Haqmizrach,
1903, a page from the Genizah which undoubtedlyformed
a part of our MS. Its contents are very interesting,and so
are the notes given to it by ElijahHalevi Gabrielow. I am
unable to reproduceits contents here, but must recommend
it to the student as a most important contributionto our
text.

HALAKHIC.

MS. Cambridge,paper,containing two leaves, and representing a fragmentof the Mechiltaof R. Simon b. Jochai.
The existence of such a Mechilta, known to some of the
earlier authorities, of which many extracts are given by
the compilerof the Midrash Haggadol, is proved beyond
doubt . But we now have a portion of this Mechilta
coming directly from the book itself and giving us some
insight into the economyand arrangementof this old Midrash2. I have providedit with a few notes and references
to the cognate literature which may prove helpful to
the student in places where the text is in rathera corrupt
state.

Another fragment of this Mecliilta is to be found in Oxford MS. Heb.

of it, but it varies so little from the extracts given in the Happeles that its

publication may be deferred, without any damage to the student, to

a later occasion.

Nn^"=

MS. Oxford Heb. c i8, two leaves, vellum, representing

an ancient Tannaitic Midrash . This MS., to which Prof.
Dr. Biichler kindly drew my attention some years ago,
and of which he prepared a copy for me, seems to form
a portion of a Mechilta to the book of Deuteronomy. The
text is unfortunately very corrupt. It seems also to be
defective in parts2. But, with all its shortcomings, the
fragment throws so much light on the question of the old
Tannaitic expositions of the Scripture, and gives so much
that is fresh and even startling, that its contents will, I am
certain, prove very interesting and instructive to students.
In my notes I have attempted to elucidate obscure passages,
and to give the necessary references. But the difficulties
are so many and so great that my comments must only be
considered as tentative and of a preliminary nature.
