Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! To celebrate, we're sharing an image of Brian Walton's Polyglot Bible. The impressive six volume work presents the Old Testament in nine languages: Hebrew, Aramaic (Targum), Samaritan, Syriac, Arabic, Persian, Ethiopic, Greek, and Latin.

Contrary to some of his predecessors, Abraham Geiger did not believe the Targum was composed by Jonathan. Rather, the name "Targum Jonathan" indicates the revision of the Targum in the manner of Theodotion (the Greek name-equivalent of Jonathan), who revised the Septuagint. In the same manner Targum Onqelos (Greek equivalent: Aquila) was a revision, or even a new composition in the manner of Aquila based on the previous Palestinian version.

We are cooking and my wife just asked me "are you done with this here Targum (תרגום)?"
I said "you mean tarka (तड़का)?"

This is a Judaeo-Arabic book list from the Cairo Genizah (Cambridge CUL T-S 20.47). The entry underlined in red says: ‘Two codices (muṣḥafayn) of the Targum and the Bible with Babylonian (ʿirāqī) vocalisation’. What you might not expect: The Bible is called ‘Qurʾān’ (קראן) here.

That’s the Targum. Isn’t Target that giant fish like a Marlin?

I thought that was the Tar Pits. Isn't Target the Aramaic translation of the Tanach?

Yep, that's Pseudo-Jonathan too! It's the most interesting targum and it's not close. This same midrash appears in Targum Neofiti, too

Targum Pseudo-Jonathan to Genesis 14:13. It just adds an entire extra paragraph ranting about the antedeluvian giant Og in the middle of the Battle of Siddim
