This book presents the critical edition of Joseph Seniriâs commentary on the Former Prophets. Son of the famous poet Isaac Ha-Seniri, Joseph Seniri lived in Beaucaire at the turn of the thirteenth century. His work, which follows the Provençal tradition of Jewish exegesis combining the teachings of northern France with those of Spain, contains numerous Provençal glosses ( leâazim). Through Kogelâs analysis of the text and the study of the grammatical terminology, it is possible to see the main sources of influence Seniriâs influence: Rashiâs commentary and Ibn Janaḥâs grammar.
