My next book project is on Targum Ruth. As I begin to work my way through the text and issues I will post material here. You can navigate to my translation and images of the Solger manuscript using the links in the drop down menu above.
Articles
“Eschatological Lists in the Targumim to the Megillot” is a paper I presented at IOTS in Slovenia 2007. The article has since appeared in Journal for the Study of Judaism, Volume 40, Numbers 4-5, 2009 , pp. 493-509(17). You may download it here: Brady_JSJ40.
Translation
My translation can be found here, on this site.
Samson H. Levey’s translation can be found here, at the Newsletter for Targumic and Cognate Studies at Targum.info.
