This volume contains a critical edition of the Arabic translation and commentary on the Abraham narratives in the Book of Genesis (chs. 11-25) by the most prominent and prolific commentator of the Karaite “Golden Age,” Yefet ben ʻEli ha-Levi (10-11 C.E.). Yefet’s interpretation of the Abraham cycle establishes him as a highly original commentator and provides new insights into the history of exegesis of the book of Genesis. The edition is preceded by a comprehensive study of Yefet’s hermeneutic approach in comparison to that of other medieval commentators. Among the subjects discussed are Yefet’s view on the authorship of the Torah, his translation technique, literary aspects of his exegesis, and polemical overtones discernible in his commentary on Genesis. The study also includes a comprehensive survey of earlier commentaries on this book by other Karaite writers both prior to and contemporary with Yefet. 'This is a serious academic work which will find its place in research collections supporting biblical and Judaica scholarship.' Randall C. Belinfante, American Sephardi Federation

The volume Lost and Bound: Reconstruction Techniques in Fragmentary Manuscripts of the Jewish and Christian Traditions is intended to serve as a practical manual of how to navigate and work with unexplored or under-explored handwritten sources composed in Semitic and non-Semitic languages from the Jewish and Christian traditions. It should be a useful tool not only for scholars interested in textual criticism, but also for students willing to conduct research in the field. With the help of detailed descriptions, analyses and discussions of some of the most interesting, carefully selected, excerpts of Jewish and Christian texts preserved in manuscript form, readers will learn strategies and state-of-the-art methods for overcoming the problems they may face when working with ancient and medieval texts written in Coptic, Greek, Hebrew, Judeo- and Christian Arabic, and Christian Aramaic. --UPSA Press
