Midrash Abkir Genesis-Exodus homily cycle behind Yalkut excerpts v1 ยท Draft
A lost smaller midrash visible through excerpts and citations.
This article describes an entity that is not directly attested as a complete Midrash Abkir manuscript; it is inferred from excerpts and citations attributed to the work.
Epistemic status
Draft article. Excerpts and citations are attested; the complete homily cycle is missing and reconstructed.
Summary
Jewish Encyclopedia describes Midrash Abkir as surviving through more than fifty Yalkut excerpts and other citations, apparently dealing with the first two books of the Pentateuch. Inferpedia treats the lost Genesis-Exodus homily cycle behind those traces as a draft lost-text entity.
What is being inferred
The inferred entity is a Midrash Abkir Genesis-Exodus homily cycle behind Yalkut excerpts and other citations.
What is attested
The source attests extant remains, more than fifty Yalkut excerpts, citations in other works, and a likely Genesis-Exodus scope.
Why infer this entity
A named midrash known through excerpt/citation remains implies a fuller missing corpus even when the original arrangement cannot be directly inspected.
Evidence ledger
- E1, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for extant remains.
- E2, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for more than fifty excerpts.
- E3, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for citations in other works.
- E4, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for first-two-books scope.
Counterarguments
Attribution can be unstable in later excerpt traditions. The original arrangement and exact scope remain uncertain.
Confidence scores
Direct attestation: 54. Existence warrant: 76. Specificity: 70. Reconstruction dependence: 86. Counterevidence: 30.
What would change the score
A modern critical catalogue of Yalkut excerpts, other citations, and manuscript notices would change the score.
Why this candidate exists
Codex-native Judaism category traversal selected a smaller midrash whose full corpus is absent and only excerpt/citation surfaces remain.
