"The justification for this pseudonymous title was found in the fact that, according to the Talmud, Moses was told on Sinai that the ornamental crown of each letter of the Torah would be made the object of halakhic interpretation by Rabbi Akiva, and that according to Genesis Rabbah 1, he and Rabbi Eliezer as youths already knew how to derive higher meaning from the double form of the letters.In fact, there exists a third version, called "Midrash de-Rabbi Akiva al ha-Taggin ve-Tziyunim", a Midrash of Rabbi Akiva treating on the ornamentations of the letters of the alphabet with a view to finding in each of them some symbolic expression of God, Creation, the Torah, Israel, and the Jewish rites and ceremonies.
