Ezra Spicehandler discussed it in a HUCA article on Schorr, Marc Gopin in his dissertation on Shadal's ethics, and Hanan Gafni in his dissertation/ book on peshuto shel mishnah. But I too haven't seen this bit discussed. <br /><br />Yes, I'll get you the link to Hamisderonah; scattered issues are on hebrewbooks.org, but I have a complete pdf copy, much better scan. Maybe you could tell, I was a little distracted while writing this post, that's why there's less Hebrew, no images, and not enough links, etc.<br /><br />I have this fantasy that when I'm retired I'll somehow collect every spare scrap that he wrote, in all languages, and put it all out. There's a lot that has not been properly gathered.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-7573086907449175762012-08-03T11:35:17.818-04:002012-08-03T11:35:17.818-04:00This is the first discussion I've ever seen of...This is the first discussion I've ever seen of Shadal as a commentator on the Mishnah. You have performed a valuable public service! (And a personal favor to me, since I had misplaced my link to the online version of Bikkurei Ha-Ittim.) Is the full "Ma'arekhet Leshon Hakhamim" as it appeared in Hamisderonah available online? All this goes to show that there is still much work to be done in collecting Shadal's scattered writings and bringing them to public attention.Dan Kleinnoreply@blogger.com
