Abstract

Job, the canonical book and its protagonist, was not precisely marginal to rabbinic tradition as this is represented in the classical corpora of midrash and Talmud, and this is also valid for the literature that was produced roughly at the same time as the Babylonian Talmud was being brought to a close, early medieval Jewish literature. In the works and corpora of so called post-classical rabbinic literature Job is quoted and expanded upon in ways that do not merely reproduce earlier exegetical traditions. These texts contribute in their own style and with their own agendas to shaping the figure of Job as well as to the interpretation of Joban verses without relation to the story and the question of Job. In this essay I will focus on the treatment of Job in one of these later corpora, the homiletical midrash Pesiqta Rabbati.
