Review of Scholarly Research on Yefet Ben 'Eli and his Works
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: One of the most central Karaite interpreters of Scripture of the early classical period was Yefet ha-Levī Ben 'Eli whose biblical commentaries are the finest example of the mature stage of Karaite exegesis, which reached its peak in the Jerusalem Karaite school at the turn of the tenth and eleventh centuries. The article presents a detailed review of works of scholarship on this exegete, including critical editions and translations of his exegetical compositions as well as unpublished Masters' theses and Ph.D. dissertations devoted to him and his oeuvre. The outline describes, in a systematic way, the main accomplishments of various scholars and the content of their works on an individual basis and, as far as possible, in chronological order.
