Notas masoréticas en tres comentarios atribuidos a Raší

Using the Mikra'ot Gedolot 'Haketer' version of Rashi's commentary on three Biblical passages (Deuteronomy 33:23, Isaiah 14:11 and Ezekiel 17:9) the author reviews the textual version of the commentaries' transmission from medieval manuscripts to print editions. Addressing their meaning and adducing the masoretic notes that the Meyu?as may have used in making additions, the author demonstrates that these later additions have generated erroneous attributions to Rashi's original commentaries. In the first two cases, the commentator employs the Masorah note as an interpretive tool. Firstly, he cites the Masorah Magna to support his claim that this unusual form of (Deut 33:23) is indeed in the imperative. Secondly, the commentator adduces from a masoretic note that the word (Isa 14:11), which occurs twice in the Bible in this form has two meanings. In the third case, the Masorah note had no interpretive agenda; it merely pointed out that all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet appear in Ezekiel 17:9.
