Raši citáty

Rabi Šlomo Jicchaki, hebrejsky רבי שלמה יצחקי‎‎, někdy též Rabi Šlomo ben Jicchak , známější pod akronymem Raši byl byl židovský učenec žijící a působící v severní Francii. Byl komentátor Bible, Talmudu a Midrašů.

Jeho komentář k Bibli tvoří základ tradičního studia biblických textů v judaismu a jeho slavný komentář k Talmudu je dosud považován za nepřekonaný. Tato díla dělají z Rašiho jednu z nejvýznamnějších postav židovského náboženství, kultury a historie. Jeho komentáře se staly známými a respektovanými i v nežidovském prostředí a např. Mikuláš Kusánský se ve svém díle De docta ignorantia zmiňuje o Rašim jako o „Rabbi Salomonovi“. V některých českých textech je možné setkat se také se jménem „Šalamoun ben Izák“ apod. Wikipedia
