Abstract

The subject heading “the authorities in Champagne asked rabbenu tam about three matters” appears in two manuscripts containing biblical commen-taries by the French tosafists, close to the commentary to genesis 5:24 (“Enoch walked with god, then he was no more, for god took him”). the writer concludes the correspondence by noting: “this is what rabbenu tam, may his abode in the garden of Eden be honored, replied to the authorities as he saw fit.”
