Sifri Zutta

Sifre Zutta (Jewish Palestinian Aramaic: ספרי זוטא) was a Mishnaic Hebrew-language midrash on the Book of Numbers. Medieval authors mention it under the titles Sifre shel Panim Acherim and Vi-Yeshallehu Zutta; and to distinguish from it the Sifre, Isaac ben Moses of Vienna calls the latter Sifre Rabbati.

The Sifre Zutta has not been preserved and was no longer extant by the time of Abraham Lévy-Bacrat (around 1500). However, fragments of the work have been discovered in the Cairo Geniza, and excerpts from it are quoted in the Midrash HaGadol and in Yalkut Shimoni. Compilations have been published.
