The opening sections of some exegetical Midrashim deal with the
same type of material that is found in introductions to medieval
rabbinic Bible commentaries. The application of Goldberg's form
analysis to these sections reveals the new form "Inner-Midrashic
Introduction" (IMI) as a thematic discourse on introductory issues
to biblical books. By its very nature the IMI is embedded within
the comments on the first biblical verse (1:1). Further analysis of
medieval rabbinic Bible commentary introductions in terms of their
formal, thematic, and material characteristics, reveals that a high
degree of continuity exists between them and the IMIs, including
another newly discovered form, the "Inner-Commentary Introduction".
These new discoveries challenge the current view that traces the
origin of Bible introduction in Judaism exclusively to non-Jewish
models. They also point to another important link between the
Midrashim and the commentaries, i.e., the decomposition of the
functional form midrash in the new discoursive context of the
commentaries. Finally, the form analysis demonstrates how larger
discourses are formed in the exegetical Midrashim.
