Well, I didn't know what this was (apart from knowing what The Torah
is), so I googled it.

It turns out to be an immense work of Scriptural scholarship from the
Jewish Publication Society, currently out of print according to their

would cost even more than the $360 shown as the set price. (I assume
Francis paid less than that...)

A find, indeed.


Much less, indeed.
