Zhakevich, A Targumist Interprets the Torah (Brill)

NEW BOOK FROM BRILL:
A Targumist Interprets the Torah: Contradictions and Coherence in Targum Pseudo-Jonathan

Series: Supplement to Aramaic Studies, Volume: 17

Author: Iosif J Zhakevich

This book conducts a focused study of contradictions and coherence in Targum Pseudo-Jonathan. The first section of this study examines the apparent disruption of congruity with regard to the vertical dimension of the Targum, that is, between the Torah (the Hebrew Vorlage) and the Targum (the Aramaic translation). The second section addresses the apparent disruption of congruity with regard to the horizontal dimension of the Targum, that is, within the boundaries of the TgPsJ corpus. Ultimately, this work suggests that the contradictions are given to resolution, once the greater context of biblical and Jewish tradition is taken into consideration.
