The ed. of Yehudah He-Hasid's commentary on the Torah: Perushe ha-Torah le-Rabi Yehudah he-Ḥasid. Yerushalayim : Langeh, 5735 [1974 or 1975], edited by Isaac Samson Lange, contains four passages stating that certain passages in the Torah were added later than Moses, ranging in time from Joshua to the Anshe Keneset ha-Gedolah, and that King David removed certain psalms from the Torah and transferred them to the book of Psalms. Those passages aroused controversy and the volumes were recalled; the pages with the offending passages were removed and were replaced with new pages minus the offending passages. The process is concisely described by I. Ta-Shma in his article: Mashehu ʻal biḳoret ha-Miḳra be-Ashkenaz bi-yeme ha-benayim, in: ha-Miḳra bi-reʾi mefarshaṿ / ed. by Sara Japhet. Jerusalem : Magnes, 1994, p. 453. -- Penn owns four copies of this work, with at least one volume reflecting each stage in its publication, as seen in the local note below. -- This entry provided by Prof. Jeffrey Tigay.
