RASHBAM (10851174)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 911 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RASHBAM (10851174) , Jewish
scholar
 , so called from the initials of his full name,
RABBI
 
SAMUEL
  BEN MEIR, was a leading member of the
French
  school of Biblical exegesis. ' He was a grandson of
Rashi
  (q.v.), but differed in his method of interpretation. He wrote commentaries on the
Pentateuch
  and some other parts of the Scriptures.
Rashbam
  adopts a natural (as distinct from a homiletical and traditional) method; thus (in agreement with the
modern
  school)
Rashbam
  (on Gen. i. 5) maintained that the day began at
dawn
  and not from the previous sunset (as later Jewish custom assumed). Another famous interpretation was Rashbam's view that the much disputed phrase in Gen. xlix. ro must be rendered " Until he cometh to ShiIoh," and refers to the division of the kingdom of Judah after Solomon's death. Rashbam's notes on the Bible are remarkable for brevity, but when he comments on the Talmudhe wrote explanations on several tractshe is equally noted for prolixity. (I. A.)
