Appendix to "Pietists and Kibbitzers"

As our concern is the subject matter of these selections rather than the meaning of any specific passage, I have simply transcribed the text as found, emended some of the more obvious errors, and provided the basic references.¹ I have made no attempt at a critical edition. As the notes are for orientation only, I have used the standard, readily available Yalkut Shim'oni, even though its text may not reflect at times that of the medieval original. Given a reference in the Yalkut Shim'oni, the interested reader can readily trace which of the numerous parallel midrashic versions the author had in mind. In some places the transcriptions and meanings are obscure, especially in the Zurich manuscript, but never the topic addressed. I have excluded fragments from Byzantine² or Yemenite manuscripts or those later than the seventeenth centu ry, as they lie outside the period and provenance of our discussion.³

The selection ends here and is followed by a section on dreams:

3. Bodley Or. 146 (Neubauer 782) (Germany, 1342) fol. 69a-70a.

The texts of the selections from SH are identical with Bodley Opp. 614, down to most of the scribal errors. (The selection from SH is preceded by a section on the recitation of berakhot similar to the one that preceded the selection from SH in Bodley Opp. 614.)

4. Zurich Zentral Bibliothek, Heid. 51 (Germany, 14th/15th century) fol. 9a-10b.

5. MS Hamburg Staats-und Universitätsbibliothek 303 (Steinschnei-der 213)

An Italian scribe in the seventeenth century decided to copy sections from the 1538 Bologna edition⁸⁴ and the sections he chose were sections 1024-1068, scarcely ones treating pietistic concerns.
