Notes
- Part of a Gaonic responsum, probably that of Ḥai or Sherirah Gaon. A complete version appears in: Teshuvot geʾonim ḳadmonim / Joseph ben Samuel Bonfils. Berlin : Friedlander, 1848, no. 72; Levin, Otsar ha-gaonim / Benjamin Manasseh Lewin. Haifa : [s.n], 1928-1943, vol. IV, responsa Section, pp. 37-45: no. 32); The complete version is a lengthy discourse on a difficult passage in Ḥagigah (21b-22a) which requires much supplementary detail. The discourse starts with the standard heading for Gaonic responsa: וששאלתם, yet the text is clearly a gloss in the Gaonic style, flowing with the Talmudic text, adding dialectic clarifications and conjunctive phrases; A gloss on the tractate of Ḥagigah attributed to Ḥai Gaon is mentioned in a few latter sources, but all are on mystical and philosophical topics dealt with in chapter 1; See, Levin, op. cit. vol. IV, 1932, commentary section, item nos. 51-55, 57-58, 61, 67, 71, 73. The gloss on Ḥagigiah 23a ll. 6-7 is identical with that of R. Ḥananel, with a few lexical alterations. The rest is different.
