Excerpt from Ibn Ezra Literature, Vol. 4: Essays on the Writings of Abraham Ibn Ezra In the second Essay the writings of Ibn Ezra are described seriatim. The present volume contains only the chapter on the Commentaries, including translations and super-com mentaries. A few general remarks on the character and the peculiarities of Ibn Ezra's exegesis form the Introduc tion to this Essay. The account given of the manuscripts is for the most part founded on personal inspection; but we have also derived great service from the bibliographical works of Dr. Steinschneider (viz. Hammazkir or Hebra ische Bibliographie, his catalogues of the Hebrew books of the Bodleian Library, and of mss. At Leyden and Munich, his contributions to the Encyclopaedia of Ersch and Gruber, etc.) from the Magazin fur Wissenschaft des Judenthums edited by dr.berliner; Dr. Graetz's, Geschichte der J uden, the First Part of the Catalogue of Hebrew Manuscripts issued by Dr. Schiller, of Cambridge, and the unedited one of Mr. A. Neubauer, m.a., of Oxford. The author is especi ally indebted to the last-named scholar, who, with his habitual kindness, has been most prompt in supplying any information that was desired, and in communicating any discovery of moment in the Ibn Ezra Literature.
