Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2003.

The dissertation identifies and analyzes a fifteenth century shift in the hermeneutics of the third century Mishnaic tractate, Avot, known in English as Ethics of the Fathers. We first note that interpretation of the Bible, especially as recorded by Midrash, incorporated assumptions that fit best for a Divine text. The longstanding distinction between peshat and derash articulated in studies of Midrash, seems to distinguish between readings that elicit meaning from the text and those that read the asserted meaning back into it.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The dissertation identifies and analyzes a fifteenth century shift in the hermeneutics of the third century Mishnaic tractate, Avot, known in English as Ethics of the Fathers. We first note that interpretation of the Bible, especially as recorded by Midrash, incorporated assumptions that fit best for a Divine text. The longstanding distinction between peshat and derash articulated in studies of Midrash, seems to distinguish between readings that elicit meaning from the text and those that read the asserted meaning back into it.
520 $a The study shows that Avot commentators before the fifteenth century read the text in ways that could constitute a contextually accurate plainsense rendering. In sharp contrast, the fifteenth century, particularly in the writings of commentators such as Mattathias haYizhari, Joseph Hayyun, and Isaac Abarbanel, saw the rise of "reading in" to Avot the way that Midrash "read in" to the Biblical text.
520 $a The dissertation reviews the techniques of reading Bible that will be found in fifteenth century Avot exegesis, defines the difference between peshat and derash, demonstrates the new hermeneutics of the fifteenth century, shows that earlier commentators offered only peshat readings of the text, and that sixteenth century commentators continued the new trend.
520 $a It then searches for factors that led to that change, noting especially the roughly contemporary and similar shift in Talmudic interpretation---studied at length by academic scholars such as Daniel Boyarin and H. Z. Dimitrovsky---credited to R. Isaac Kanpanton. The conclusion notes that the two significant changes in modes of reading point to the fifteenth century as a time period worth further study, as the mother of a self-conscious search for innovation in Jewish exegesis and thought.
