| Description |
The phenomenon of modern authors who publish more than one edition of a given work is familiar, and it already existed in classical literature. Until now the earliest clear examples with regard to rabbinic literature belonged to the twelfth century. This article presents a considerably earlier example: the Book of Oaths by Hayya b. Sherira, written at the end of the tenth century before he became Gaon of Pumbeditha. A close comparison of Genizah fragments of the Judeo-Arabic original of this work, as well as its two medieval translations into Hebrew, reveals that the author published at least two editions, in the sense appropriate to the era before printing, i.e., he allowed others to copy his work at two points in time (perhaps more), between which he altered and added to the text. Some of the changes are merely stylistic or add clarifications and the like, but it seems that on two occasions the author corrected mistakes which had crept into the first edition. Moreover, there are hints of the possible existence of a third edition. |
