This invaluable aid to learning Tanach is used by students around the world! It provides the benefit of owning two sets in one, since each volume features the complete Hebrew Mikraoth Gedoloth plus facing pages contain a concise, modern English translation of the text with extensive commentary. Each and every Rashi is translated, in addition to selections from the Ramban, Sforno, Rashbam, Ibn Ezra, from Talmudic and Midrashic sources, and from numerous other commentaries never before translated. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, ztl, gave his unstinting approbation to this now classic series.
Books can be attributed to "Anonymous" for several reasons:
* They are officially published under that name * They are traditional stories not attributed to a specific author * They are religious texts not generally attributed to a specific author
Books whose authorship is merely uncertain should be attributed to Unknown.
The translation is somewhat awkward in English, but it gets the meaning of the Hebrew better than most. The commentary is mostly Rashi and other rabbis from the Middle Ages. Not for reading as much as it is for studying, probably in an Orthodox Jewish setting.
