Rabbinical Literature Midrash Proverbs Hebrew is the haggadic midrash to the Book of Proverbs , first mentioned under the title Midrash Mishle by R. Hananeel b. ushiel first half of the 11th century as quoted in the Mordekai on B.M. iii. 293. Nathan of Rome calls this midrash Agadat Mishle Aruk , s.v. . It was, besides, called erroneously Shocher Tov ed. Zolkiev, 1800 Benjacob , O ar ha Sefarim, p. 302, Nos. 449 451 , a name by which Midrash Tehillim is known. The midrash has not been preserved entire for there are no comments whatever on several chapters, e.g., on iii., vii., and xviii., and others have been annotated only in part. The editor of the Yal u used some portions of this midrash which are now missing, although it may be assumed that not all the sentences which he included in his work with the statement that they were taken from this midrash were really a part of the Midrash Mishle which he had at hand comp. S. Buber , Midrash Mishle, Introduction, p. 5b . Form This midrash is different from all the other haggadic midrashim in that its interpretations approach the simple exegesis then in vogue, being brief and free from the prolixity found in the other midrashim, so that this work is in the form of a commentary rather than in that of a midrash. The interpretations follow immediately upon the words of the text, without the introductory formulas found in the other midrashim, as Scripture says, or Rabbi N. N. began the latter formula, however, occurs at the beginning of the midrash. The editor of the midrash drew upon the Mishnah , Tosefta , Mekilta , Sifre , Pesi ta de Rab Kahana , Abot de Rabbi Natan , Bereshit Rabbah , Wayi ra Rabbah , Ecclesiastes Rabbah , Canticles Rabbah , and the Babylonian Talmud . But he does not seem to have known anything about the Palestinian Talmud , since he does not quote from it. The editor was therefore probably a Babylonian ...
