product recommendation - Is there a sourced edition of Tz'enah Ur'enah?


Tz'enah Ur'enah looks like a worthwhile collection of midrashim -- insightful, accessible, and physically easy to read (this last is why I'm less likely to curl up with my Sefer Ha-Aggadah for an afternoon of reading -- the content is great, but the book is large, heavy, and uses small print). The Tz'enah Ur'enah edition I've seen, though, is unsourced, which has left me with questions once already and presumably will again.


Is there an edition of this, in English translation, that cites sources?



Answer



You may want to see the Ze’enah U-Re’enah edition, by Morris M. Faierstein (de Gruyter, 2017). It has some footnotes indicating its sources.
