Sifri Zutta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sifre Zutta (Hebrew: ספרי זוטא) was a midrash on the Book of Numbers. Medieval authors mention it under the titles "Sifre shel Panim Acherim" and "Vi-Yeshallehu Zutta"; and to distinguish from it the Sifre, Or Zarua[1] calls the latter "Sifre Rabbati."
The Sifre Zutta has not been preserved; and apparently was no longer extant by the time of Abraham Bakrat (around 1500).[2] However, fragments of Sifre Zutta have been discovered in the Cairo Geniza, and excerpts from it are quoted in the Midrash HaGadol and in Yalkut Shimoni.[3] Compilations have been published.[4][5]
