פירוש על ברכות 56:7

Jastrow, p. 331 a, explains : i.e. parading a superficial knowledge of the Bible by verbal memorising. Goldschmidt suggests that the word higgayon (lit. meditation), which in medieval Hebrew is used in the sense of "logic," may here mean "philosophical speculation." It has also been explained as referring to the reading of apocryphal literature as against the canonical Scriptures ; cf. A. T. i. p. 97 n. 5.
