Abstract:
eng: The thesis 'A Babylonian Midrash on Megillat Ester' offers a detailed study of Babylonian Talmud Megilla 10b-17a, including German translation, commentary and discussion of parallel passages in Talmudic and Midrashic literature. The translation sheds light on specific rabbinic techniques of argument-structure and commentary. Megilla 10b-17a is used as an example to explain the rabbinical way of bible interpretation. The thesis concludes that a single redactor collected and elaborated the Ester- interpretations from different traditions as they were formulated by different rabbies. The specific Babylonian concerns can be found both in language and contents of the Midrash he compiled.
