Ibn Ezra, commenting on the Edomite King List of Gen. 36: 31 ff.,
attacks a certain "Yitzhaki" for claiming that this list was written
during the reign of King Jehoshafat of Judah and demands that his boks
be burnt. I had thoughtthat this Yitzhaki might be Rashi, Rabbi Shlomo
Yitzhaki, but apparently this is not so. Does anyone have nay idea who
this Yitzhaki was?
I have also heard, through the grapevine, that someone was writing
either a monograph or a doctoral dissertation on the subject of medieval
commentators who raised doubts about the Mosaic authorship of the
Pentateuch. Does anyone have any more detailed information?
Thanks in advance,
