[Avodah] "Hashem" as God's name

[Micha Berger]

Ibn Kaspi, in his commentary on the IE, uses "Hashem" (spelled
hei-shin-nun).

R' Yosef ben Abba Mari ibn Kaspi, 1280-1340 Largentier (a Friench villiage
whose name refers to the area's silver mines -- thus "Kaspi").

Of course, I don't know if that's how he actually wrote Peirush haSodos
shel IE al haTorah, or it entered somewhere along the way. The oldest
edition I could find, Pressburg 1903
<http://www.teachittome.com/seforim2/seforim/pirush_hasodos_shel_ibn_ezra.pdf>
already has "Hashem" in it. And besides, why would this one seifer show
a shift? Was it transcribed by someone with a different mindset than
those who copied other rishonim?

In case you're wondering... RZLampel recently sent me a quote about
"HaKenaani az baaretz" and RYIK's shitah that the IE's sowd has nothing
to do with later interpolations into the Chumash.

Tir'u baTov!
