De l’importance des textes considérés comme mineurs: l’exemple du Midrash Hallel
Traduction annotée d'un Midrash entre aggada et mystique
By (author) J. Costa
This book focuses on the Midrash Hallel, a rare rabbinical commentary on the Psalms of the Hallel (Ps 113-118) prayer. It takes into account the only existing manuscript of the Midrash (Munich 222) and three printed editions (one A. Jellinek in 1873, the JD Eisenstein in 1915 and the anonymous version of the Traklin presses, published in Warsaw, 1924), to give its first translation. It attempts to clarify its relationship with the rest of the classical rabbinic literature, especially the Midrash Tehillim. Although it is a minor collection, the Midrash Hallel may concern those who seek to better understand the channels through which some traditions (especially mystical ones) transited between ancient times and the Middle Ages.
English summary: This book focuses on the Midrash Hallel, a rare rabbinical commentary on the Psalms of the Hallel (Ps 113-118) prayer. It takes into account the only existing manuscript of the Midrash (Munich 222) and three printed editions (one A. Jellinek in 1873, the JD Eisenstein in 1915 and the anonymous version of the Traklin presses, published in Warsaw, 1924), to give its first translation. It attempts to clarify its relationship with the rest of the classical rabbinic literature, especially the Midrash Tehillim. Although it is a minor collection, the Midrash Hallel may concern those who seek to better understand the channels through which some traditions (especially mystical ones) transited between ancient times and the Middle Ages. French description: Le present ouvrage porte sur le Midrash Hallel, un recueil rabbinique peu connu qui commente de maniere presque exhaustive les Psaumes qui composent une priere fondamentale, celle du Hallel (Ps 113-118). Il tient compte du seul manuscrit existant de ce Midrash (Munich 222) et de ses trois editions imprimees (celle d’A. Jellinek en 1873, celle de J.D. Eisenstein en 1915 et la version anonyme des presses de Traklin, publiee … Varsovie en 1924), pour en donner une premiere traduction. Il tente d’eclairer la relation qu’il entretient avec la reste de la litterature rabbinique classique, tout particulierement avec le Midrash Tehillim. Il s’interroge enfin sur son caractere eventuellement mystique. Meme s’il est un recueil mineur, le Midrash Hallel ne peut qu’interesser ceux qui cherchent … mieux connaOEtre les canaux par lesquels certaines traditions, notamment mystiques, ont transite entre l’epoque antique et celle du Moyen Age.
