Beskrivning
What is the use of a Targum in a cultural setting where Aramaic is not a common language anymore? And why would Christians be interested in a typically Jewish text in an otherwise anti-Jewish milieu? These and related questions have served as guides for Alberdina Houtman, Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman and Hans-Martin Kirn in bringing together the articles for the present book, which consists of three parts: 1. Uses and Functions of Targum in Europe; 2. Editing Targums and their Latin Translations; 3. Targums and Christianity. A number of the articles deal with the codicological and paratextual aspects of the relevant manuscripts and editions as witnesses of their cultural historical situations. The intended readership includes specialists in Targum, Jewish and medieval studies, (church) historians, codicologists and (Christian) theologians.

"This is an excellent volume [...].The quality of the research is clear throughout, and the volume contains ... papers that are excellent. [...] the project A Jewish Targum in a Christian World was very well conceived and has been very well executed. Again, this is not a surprise—we have been fortunate to witness excellent research on the targumim from this group of scholars for a number of years." – Siam Bhayro, University of Exeter, United Kingdom, in: RBL 03/2016"Der Band ist sowohl für Bibelwissenschaftler und Judaisten als auch für Kirchengeschichtler hoch interessant, da er das Augenmerk auf eine bislang kaum beachtete Fragestellung der Auslegungsgeschichte und Rezeption der hebräischen Bibel lenkt und gleichzeitig wichtige Beispiele für die interreligiöse Dynamik zwischen Judentum und Christentum gibt. Der Band gibt aber auch interessante Einblicke in die Geschichte der jüdischen und Christilichen Schrift- und Buchkultur. Mit der hier vorliegende Publikation, die gleichzeitig die Vielseitigkeit der aktuellen Targumforschung zeigt, ist ein wichtiger Schritt getan und man kann dem Autorenteam für seine Initiative danken."-- Beate Ego, Bochum, Theologische Literaturzeitung 141 (2016) 7/8
