Targum Jonathan otherwise referred to as Targum Yonasan Yonatan is the official eastern Babylonian targum to the Nevi im . Its early origins, however, are western i.e. from the Land of Israel , and the Talmudic tradition attributes its authorship to Jonathan ben Uzziel . Its overall style is very similar to that of Targum Onkelos , though at times it seems to be a looser paraphrase. The language of Targum Jonathan is Aramaic. In Talmud ic times and to this day in Temani Yemenite Jewish communities Targum Jonathan was read as a verse by verse translation alternatively with the Hebrew verses of the haftarah in the synagogue . Thus, when the Talmud states that a person should complete his portions of scripture along with the community, reading the scripture twice and the targum once Berakhot 8a b , the passage may be taken to refer to Targum Jonathan as well as to Targum Onkelos on the Torah .

It consists of 450 Folio printing folios covering all books of the Pentateuch , with only a few damaged verses. More than a mere Aramaic translation of the Hebrew text, Neofiti offers lengthy expansions on the biblical text at several places. It is often more expansive than Targum Onkelos , but less so than Targum Pseudo Jonathan . History In 1587 Andrea de Monte gave T. Neofiti to Ugo Boncampagni. De Monte had censored it by deleting most references to idolatry while he owned the manuscript. In 1602 Boncampagni gave what was at that time labeled Item 1 along with a fragmentary targum to the Collegium Ecclesiasticum Neophytum or Pia Domus Neophytum, the document s namesake , who preserved it until 1886, when the Holy Sea Vatican bought it along with other manuscripts when the Collegium closed. At that time, T. Neofiti was titled incorrectly as a manuscript of Targum Onkelos until 1949, when Professor Jose Maria Millas Vallicrosa and Alejandro D ez Macho noticed that it differed significantly from Targum Onkelos. It was translated and published from 1968 1979 and has since then been considered the most important of the Palestinian Targumim as it is by far the most complete of the Western Targumim and perhaps the earliest as well.

The Targum of Lamentations TgLam is an Aramaic language Aramaic rendering of the Bible biblical Book of Lamentations . Like all other targum targumim , TgLam renders the biblical book into Aramaic while incorporating rabbinic literature rabbinic interpretations into the resultant text. TgLam probably originated in the early centuries of the Common Era as a result of Lamentations use in the liturgical worship of Tisha b Av , the day commemorating the destruction of Jerusalem. Reference to the use of a targum of Lamentations during Tisha b Av services appears in the seventh century text Soferim Talmud Soferim 42b . The extant versions of TgLam incorporate rabbinic traditions and may date to as late as the eight century CE. The earliest manuscript of TgLam is Codex Solger MS 1 7.2 , dated 1291 CE. TgLam s Aramaic mixes elements of eastern and western dialects. There are two primary textual traditions, that of western texts and those of Yemenite provenance. Content The targumist faced two theological challenges the historical reality that Jerusalem and the Lord s Temple in Jerusalem Temple had been destroyed not once, but twice in 586 BCE by the Babylonians and in 70 CE by the Romans , and the text of the Book of Lamentations itself, which challenges God directly. TgLam renders the first four verses of the Hebrew text with an extensive description of the sins of God s people, from Adam and Eve s rebellion to the refusal of the People of Israel to observe the Day of Atonement .

Rabbinical Literature The Targum Sheni Second Targum is an Aramaic language Aramaic translation targum and elaboration of the Book of Esther , that embellishes the Biblical account with considerable new apocrypha l material, not on the face of it directly germane to the Esther story. Notable among these additions is an account of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon , which sees the King commanding a daunting army of animals, birds and demonic spirits as subjects and the Queen demanding from him the answer to three riddles, before she will pay homage. ref name Lassner1993 Jacob Lassner, Demonizing the Queen of Sheba Boundaries of Gender and Culture in Postbiblical Judaism and Medieval Islam . University of Chicago Press, 1993, pp.14 17 ref The Jewish Encyclopedia characterises the story as a genuine and exuberant midrash , i.e. a free elaboration, of a kind not unusual in Rabbinic literature . There are a number of notable parallels between the Targum Sheni account and the Qur an ic account of Solomon and the Queen in Sura 27 and also some notable differences . Some scholars believe that the Qur anic account islamicises pre existing Jewish and folklore folkloric traditions, perhaps including sixth century Christian input, which were closer to those presented in the Targum Sheni. ref cf Lassner, p. 227 n.2 and pp. 132 et seq ref Nineteenth Century scholars had earlier placed the composition anywhere from the fourth to the eleventh century CE.

Citations missing article date April 2007 Targum Pseudo Jonathan is a western targum translation of the Torah Pentateuch from the land of Israel . Its correct title is Targum Yerushalmi Jerusalem Targum , which is how it was known in medieval times. But because of a printer s mistake it was later labeled Targum Jonathan , in reference to Jonathan ben Uzziel . Some editions of the Pentateuch continue to call it Targum Jonathan to this day. The Talmud relates that Yonatan ben Uziel , a student of Hillel , fashioned an Aramaic language Aramaic translation of the Nevi im Prophets . It makes no mention of any translation by him of the Torah. So all scholars agree that this Targum is not due to Yonatan ben Uziel. Indeed, de Rossi 16th century reports that he saw two very similar complete Targumim to the Torah, one called Targum Yonatan Ben Uziel and the other called Targum Yerushalmi . A standard explanation is that the original title of this work was Targum Yerushalmi , which was abbreviated to TY , and these initials were then incorrectly expanded to Targum Yonatan which was then further incorrectly expanded to Targum Yonatan ben Uziel . For these reasons, scholars call it Targum Pseudo Jonathan . The first of these manuscripts cited by de Rossi is thought to have been the basis of the first printing in Venice 1591 where the false title Targum Yonatan ben Uziel is used. The second manuscript the only known one to still exist is in the British Museum and was published by Ginsburger in 1903. This targum is more than a mere translation.
