More Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mikraot Gedolot, often called the Rabbinic Bible in English, is an edition of Tanakh (in Hebrew) that generally includes four distinct elements: The Biblical text according to the mesorah in its letters, vocalization, and cantillation marks. Masoretic notes on the Biblical text. Aramaic Targum. Biblical commentaries (most common and prominent are medieval commentaries in the peshat tradition). Numerous editions of the Mikraot Gedolot have been and continue to be published. First published in 1524–25 by Daniel Bomberg in Venice, the Mikraot Gedolot was edited by the masoretic scholar Yaakov ben Hayyim. All of its elements - text, mesorah, Targum, and commentaries were based upon the manuscripts that Ben Hayyim had at hand (although he did not always have access to the best ones according to some, Ginsburg and some others argued that it was a good representation of the Ben Asher text).
