DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf traduttori traditori, then how shall the doubly-damned translators of targum be described? One of the major purposes of the targum was indeed to translate Scripture into the vernacular. Its other major purposes, however, were to interpret the Holy Writ, and to find in it a basis for Synagogal homily. The tension between these conflicting goals has been felt since very early times; for, whereas the first requires a rather literal rendition of the text, the latter two can be achieved only through paraphrase and midrashic exposition and expansion - and even, at times, through the outright contradiction of the original Hebrew text. All the known targums of the Pentateuch partake of both of these types of translation - only in varied proportions; and the balance that is struck between the literal and the paraphrastic, is what determines the individual character of a particular targum. The targums never achieved independent existence - nor were they ever intended to replace the Hebrew Bible. On the contrary, they were read alongside the Hebrew Version, both at home and in the Synagogue; and as such, were always relegated a secondary status. And even if the ignorant masses were, at some point in history, totally dependent upon the Aramaic rendition, the rabbis never let theme lose sight of the Hebrew original.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf Greek was the language by which Palestinian Jews talked to the Empire, then Aramaic and Hebrew were the languages by which they talked to themselves. In this context, what resulted when they translated the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic? Moments of the inner Jewish conversation about the meaning and relevance of Hebrew Scriptures frozen in Aramaic renditions. The scholars in this volume use these Aramaic translations, known as the Targums, like dioramas, peering through them to glimpse these moments in the development of Judaism and its theology. Dedicated to Ernest G. Clarke, the essays explore the variety of interpretations preserved in the different Targums from the Second Temple and post-Temple periods during which they were composed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat is the use of a Targum in a cultural setting where Aramaic is not a common language anymore? And why would Christians be interested in a typically Jewish text in an otherwise anti-Jewish milieu? These and related questions have served as guides for Alberdina Houtman, Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman and Hans-Martin Kirn in bringing together the articles for the present book, which consists of three parts: 1. Uses and Functions of Targum in Europe; 2. Editing Targums and their Latin Translations; 3. Targums and Christianity. A number of the articles deal with the codicological and paratextual aspects of the relevant manuscripts and editions as witnesses of their cultural historical situations. The intended readership includes specialists in Targum, Jewish and medieval studies, (church) historians, codicologists and (Christian) theologians.
