(In Heb., Devarim Rabbah.) Aggadic midrash on Deuteronomy. A collection of independent rabbinic sermons of the Tanchuma-Yelammedenu type tied to various passages in Deuteronomy; see also Midrash Tanchuma. The collection apparently originated in the land of Israel, probably sometime after the mid-fifth century c.e., but its date and history of redaction and transmission remain obscure.
