=== Post-Talmudic === * ''Midrash Qohelet'', on [[Ecclesiastes]] (probably before middle of 9th century). * ''[[Midrash Esther]]'', on [[Book of Esther|Esther]] (940 CE). * The ''Pesikta'', a compilation of homilies on special Pentateuchal and Prophetic lessons (early 8th century), in two versions: ** [[Pesikta Rabbati]] ** [[Pesikta de-Rav Kahana]] * '''[[Pirqe Rabbi Eliezer]]''' (not before 8th century), a midrashic narrative of the more important events of the Pentateuch. * '''[[Tanchuma]]''' or '''[[Yelammedenu]]''' (9th century) on the whole Pentateuch; its homilies often consist of a halakhic introduction, followed by several poems, exposition of the opening verses, and the Messianic conclusion. There are actually a number of different Midrash Tanhuma collections. The two most important are ''[[Midrash Tanhuma Ha Nidpas]]'', literally the published text. This is also sometimes referred to as ''[[Midrash Tanhuma Yelamdenu]]''. The other is based on a manuscript published by [[Solomon Buber]] and is usually known as ''[[Midrash Tanhuma Buber]]'', much to many students' confusion, this too is sometimes referred to as ''Midrash Tanhuma Yelamdenu.'' Although the first is the one most widely distributed today, when the medieval authors refer to Midrash Tanchuma, they usually mean the second. * '''[[Midrash Shmuel (aggadah)|Midrash Shmuel]]''', on the first two Books of Kings (I, II Samuel). * '''[[Midrash Tehillim]]''', on the [[Psalms]]. * '''[[Midrash Mishle|Midrash Mishlรฉ]]''', a commentary on the book of Proverbs. * '''[[Yalkut Shimoni]]'''. A collection of midrash on the entire Hebrew Scriptures ([[Tanakh]]) containing both halakhic and aggadic midrash. It was compiled by Shimon ha-Darshan in the 13th century CE and is collected from over 50 other midrashic works. * '''[[Midrash HaGadol]]''' (in [[English language|English]]: the great midrash) (in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: ืืืจืฉ ืืืืื) was written by Rabbi [[David ben Amram Adani|David Adani]] of Yemen (14th century). It is a compilation of aggadic midrashim on the Pentateuch taken from the two Talmuds and earlier Midrashim of Yemenite provenance. * '''[[Tanna Devei Eliyahu]]'''. This work that stresses the reasons underlying the commandments, the importance of knowing Torah, prayer, and repentance, and the ethical and religious values that are learned through the Bible. It consists of two sections, Seder Eliyahu Rabbah and Seder Eliyahu Zuta. It is not a compilation but a uniform work with a single author. * ''[[Midrash Tadshe]]'' (also called [[Baraita de-Rabbi Pinehas ben Yair]]):
