Published here for the first time is volume three of the complete manuscript material of Pesiqta Rabbati, a major rabbinic work from 5th or 6th century Palestine. Pesiqta Rabbati is a religious text that expresses rabbinic, apocalyptic, messianic, gnostic, and mystical traditions. Based upon the annual cycle of biblical passages for the Jewish Holy Days and special Sabbaths, the text demonstrates the artful form of the rabbinic homily and the midrash method of scriptural exegesis. Volume three of the Synoptic Edition of Pesiqta Rabbati contains an index, chapter 53 of Pesiqta Rabbati, supplemental manuscript material and some addenda et corrigenda.
