Rashi's Exegetical Categorization

In Respect to the Distinction Between Peshat and Derash

Synopsis
Rashi was a biblical commentator and this book examines his interpretations while considering the considerations, trends and decisions behind them.
The underlying question of the book is whether in Rashi's interpretive work there is a distinction between peshat and derash, as two distinct interpretive categories.
The discussion is based on a careful examination of Rashi's interpretative terms and on the study of a large selection of his commentaries on the Bible.
