Königspsalmen und karäische Messiaserwartung

In this work, Friedmann Eißler presents the first comprehensive text documentation, including a German translation and a detailed commentary, of fundamental excerpts from Jefet ben Eli's prolific commentary on Psalms according to the Paris manuscript. His interpretation of the Royal Psalms 2, 72, 89, 110, 132 sheds new light upon the anticipation of the Messiah by Karaite biblical scholars and he creates a distinctive image of the Karaite hermeneutics by dealing throughout the book with the great Gaon of Sura, whose tafsir is taken into account constantly.
