The Targum of Samuel
This
volume deals with the Targum of 1 and 2 Samuel. It systematically
discusses its text, translation techniques and the usage of several
Aramaic words. It also provides a commentary, including an English
translation, to the entire Targum of these books. The book is important
for those interested in early Jewish history and theology, especially
for those studying all kinds of Targumim. The section on usage of
Aramaic words is important for linguists, specialized in the various
aramaic dialects and stages. The commentary offers a supplement to
commentaries on the Hebrew text of the Books of Samuel, because it
provides part of the history of exegesis.
