Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer represents a late development in "midrash",
or classical rabbinic interpretation, that has enlightened,
intrigued and frustrated scholars of Jewish culture for the past
two centuries. Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer's challenge to scholarship
includes such issues as the work's authorship and authenticity, an
asymmetrical literary structure as well as its ambiguous
relationship with a variety of rabbinic, Islamic and Hellenistic
works of interpretation. This cluster of issues has contributed to
the confusion about the work's structure, origins and identity.
Midrash and Multiplicity addresses the problems raised by this
equivocal work, and uses Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer in order to assess
the nature of "midrash", and the renewal of Jewish interpretive
culture, during its transition to the medieval era of the early
"Geonim".
