Translation - German-English - Kara on Samuel

1. It's really not sure that Rashbam commented the historic books of the Holy Scripture because no more than two citations by Abraham ben Uriel speak on behalf of the existence of those comments. The comment on Samuel which supposedly is testified by two citations by Kara in the Cod. Sem. 104 is based on a fallacy. Firstly: The comment to 1 B. Sam. (in the Cod. Sem. 104, beginning with 1,24) which is supposedly written by Kara is - in spite of the clear headline - certainly not written by Kara but by a compiler who uses - besides Menachem and Dunasch - the explanations of Raschi, of Josef Kara - who isn't mentioned explicitly - , of his teacher R. Jakob and those of a French exegete or lexicographer (it's not specified) called Simeon. Furthermore, this compiler knows and mentions the carefulness of Spanish explainers of the Scrupture and also mentions a word explanation which Eleasar and Verona told him orally. Secondly: The abbreviation "…" to 1 Sam. surely doesn't stand for "… " but for "… ", and in 1 Sam. 21, 2 "…" as well was mistakenly written as "…". The author of the Samual-commentary was an expert on Talmud and so he surely wouldn't have quoted the famous Rashbam as "…" but as "…" or something like that.
