{"product_id":"9780814654798","title":"Targum Jonathan of the Former Prophets","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe attribution, by the Babylonian Talmud, of this Targum to Jonathan ben Uzziel is suspect on several counts: among others, the silence concerning Jonathan in the parallel passage in the Palestinian Talmud, and the fanciful suggestion that Onkelos=Aquila and Jonathan=Theodotion. The attribution, therefore, is not to be taken as historical fact. The Talmud may have been attempting to enhance the authority of the Targum by claiming authorship by a disciple of Hillel, which Jonathan was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is generally agreed that the author of the Targum Jonathan is unknown; in fact, it is preferable to consider multiple authorship. For while language and translation techniques are uniform, there is variety from book to book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liturgical Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300767056112,"sku":"9780814654798","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814654798_p0.jpg?v=1769909290","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814654798","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
