Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzhak, called Rashi (1040 – 1105)was the outstanding Biblical commentator of the Middle Ages. He was born in Troyes, France. He studied with the greatest student of Rabbenu Gershom of Mainz. At twenty-five, he founded his own academy in France.
Rashi's commentary on the Bible was unique. His concern was for every word in the text which needed elaboration or explanation. Moreover, he used the fewest words possible in his commentaries. Besides explaining individual words, Rashi also made much use of midrash. Rashi applied the stories specifically to the Bible text; often abridging them. He assumed that his students knew the midrash; he just emphasized its immediate relevance to the TaNaCH.
Rashi is also important for students of French. Many words in the Bible were unknown to Rashi's students, and obviously there would ask what a particular word meant and Rashi would give the answer in Old French using Hebrew transliteration. These transliterations provide important insights into the development of French and its pronunciation.
Rashi's also wrote a commentary on the Talmud. The Talmud was written in legalese: terse, unexplained language with no punctuation. Rashi provided a simple explanation of all Gemara discussions. He explained all of the terse phrases; he explained the principles and concepts assumed by the sages who put together the Gemara. His simple, brief explanations for practically every phrase of the Gemara made the Talmud understandable to the non-scholar. To this day, it is unthinkable to study Talmud without studying Rashi's commentary at the same time
