This article presents for the first time fragments of original text of Rabbi
Isaac Ibn Ghiyyatʼs commentary on the Babylonian Talmud, known until
now from other Rabbisʼ quotations. The fragments are from the Pesachim
.and Bava Metzia Tractates
This original text is important for a number of reasons: first, it quotes
many of Ibn Ghiyyatʼs antecedents and is, at times, their sole source; second,
Ibn Ghiyyat quotes segments of the Talmud and addresses the question of
multiple versions, and finally, this is the first time the original text of the
.commentary is being published
