The Legends of the Jews: From the Creation to Exodus: Notes for Volumes 1 and 2

by Louis Ginzberg

The notes for Volumes One and Two tell where legends appear and reappear, where versions differ and where they contradict each other. When legends have been the subject of learned interpretation or debate, Ginzberg provides guidance to the commentaries and disputants; when the legends are part of a larger controversy, he provides context.
