This cluster of issues has contributed to the confusion about the work’s structure, origins and identity. \u003ci\u003eMidrash and Multiplicity\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the problems raised by this equivocal work, and uses \u003ci\u003ePirke de-Rabbi Eliezer\u003c\/i\u003e in order to assess the nature of “midrash”, and the renewal of Jewish interpretive culture, during its transition to the medieval era of the early “Geonim”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061224423664,"sku":"9783110209228","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110209228_p0.jpg?v=1763720323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110209228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
