mar 1, 1000 - Midrash Rabbah
Description:
Midrash Rabbah is a major collection of rabbinic interpretations on the Torah and the Five Megillot. It was not finalized all at once, but c. 1000 CE is a clean timeline date for the broader collection.
Its importance comes from preserving classic rabbinic explanations, stories, moral teachings, and theological reflections on the Bible. It became one of the most important collections of Jewish biblical interpretation.
