Reviews
'Leading the way in this new phase of Karaite research is Daniel Frank’s elegant and rich book, which not only contributes to our understanding of, as the title suggests, Karaite exegesis, but also sheds important light on its role in the development of rabbinic Bible commentaries. [..] This, in sum, is a very important and well-written study that should serve as the basis for all further work on Karaite exegesis.'
