"The artifex verborum of the dream ... was no less adept than the waking Coleridge in the metamorphosis of words." — John Livingston Lowes, The Road to Xanadu. Observations on language (mostly ancient), religion, and culture.

My New Book
I'm pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of A Glossary of Targum Onkelos. Enjoy. It's amazing what you can get done if you don't blog.
Congratulations! I think every Aramaic fan, myself included, is really grateful to you for your initiative.
ReplyDeleteThis was a desideratum for a long time now, with Jastrow and Dalman both being problematic and outdated.
BTW, I saw at brill.nl that there is a geographical index; is there perhaps also a private names index?
Thanks, Shai. The geographical names section includes only the GN's that are not duplicates of the Hebrew text. PN's are not included. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI am interested. I'd like to learn more about it. I wonder where I can get this book?
