This volume explores how the poetic technique of biblical metaphor was analyzed within the Jewish exegetical tradition that developed in Muslim Spain during the Golden Age of Hebrew poetry and was then transplanted to a Christian milieu. Abraham Ibn Ezra and Maimonides applied concepts from Arabic poetics, hermeneutics and logic to define metaphor and interpret it within their philological-literary readings of Scripture. David Kimhi integrated their methodologies with the midrashic creativity and sensitivity to nuance typical of his native Provence to create a new literary interpretive system that highlights the expressiveness of metaphor. This study is important for readers interested in metaphor, the Bible as literature, the history of biblical interpretation and the inter-relation between Arabic and Hebrew learning.

Der mittelalterliche jüdische Bibelgelehrte Abraham ibn Esra wurde um 1089 in Spanien geboren, wanderte kurz vor 1140 nach Italien aus und zog später nach Frankreich und England weiter. Er starb im Jahre 1164. Das Werk liefert in zwei Teilbänden eine deutschsprachige Edition von Abraham ibn Esras langem, im Jahre 1153 in Frankreich verfaßtem Kommentar zum Buch Exodus auf der Basis der Warschauer-Textausgabe sowie mehrerer Handschriften. Neben der kritischen, mit ausführlichen Kommentaren versehenen Übersetzung finden sich zu Beginn der Edition zwei umfangreiche Einleitungen: Die erste Einleitung geht u.a. den Fragen nach, ob Abraham ibn Esra der Verfasser des edierten Kommentars ist und wann und wo er ihn verfaßte. Die zweite Einleitung beschäftigt sich mit den von Abraham ibn Esra benutzten Quellen; dadurch wird sie zu einer grundlegenden Einführung in die jüdische Bibelexegese der klassischen Periode überhaupt. The medieval biblical scholar Abraham ibn Ezra was born about 1089 CE in Spain, emigrated shortly before 1140 to Italy, and later went on to France and England. He died in the year 1164. On the basis of the Warsaw textual edition as well as several manuscripts, this work in two volumes offers a German edition of Abraham ibn Ezra’s long commentary on the book of Exodus, written in the year 1153 in France. In addition to the critical translation, accompanied by extensive commentary, there are two comprehensive introductions at the beginning of the present edition: the first deals among other things with the questions of whether Abraham ibn Ezra is the author of the commentary edited, and when and where he wrote it. The second is concerned with the sources employed by Abraham ibn Ezra; therefore the edition becomes a basic introduction to Jewish exegesis of the Bible in the classical period.
