In medieval Ashkenaz piyyut commentary was a popular genre that
consisted of 'open texts' that continued to be edited by almost
each copyist. Although some early commentators can be identified,
it is mainly compilers that are responsible for the transmitted
form of text. Based on an ample corpus of Ashkenazic commentaries
the study provides a taxonomy of commentary elements, including
linguistic explanations, treatment of hypotexts, and medieval
elements, and describes their use by different commentators and
compilers. It also analyses the main techniques of compilation and
the various ways they were employed by compilers. Different types
of commentaries are described that target diverse audiences by
using varied sets of commentary elements and compilatory
techniques. Several commentaries are edited to illustrate the
different commentary types.
