Originally from the Land of Israel, the text was transferred to Italy, the Rhineland and the South of France in the Byzantine era at the cusp of the Islamic conquest of the Middle East. In 11th century Narbonne (Provence) excerpts from Pesiqta Rabbati are quoted by Moše Ha-Daršan in Berešit Rabati and in Champagne (Northeast France) by Rashi (Rabbi Šelomo b. Yiṣḥaq, 1040-1105) in his Bible commentaries. Further references are found in Mahzor Vitry by Śimḥa b. Šemuʾel of Vitry (died before1105). Additionally, Pesiqta Rabbati shows textual overlap with manuscripts of mainly French provenance of Midraš ꜥAseret Ha-Dibrot, which was partially edited in Narbonne in the 10th-11th centuries. Jewish scholars in Narbonne and the Champagne were familiar with Pesiqta Rabbati in the 11th century, which indicates a major stage in the development of the work. This article argues that geographical locations influenced the transmission of a rabbinic text and applies some features of “borderlands theories” to the reception of Pesiqta Rabbati.
