Between 1959 and 1968, Sperber produced four volumes containing Aramaic versions of The Pentateuch according to Targum Onkelos, The Former Prophets according to Targum Jonathan, The Latter Prophets according to Targum Jonathan, and the Targums to various books of the Hagiographa. The last comprised a single manuscript. The first three volumes were reprinted in 1992, and those three are compiled here into a single volume. Neither of the earlier publishers is noted. His prefatory remarks for each volume, in English, are preserved, as is the forward to the 1992 edition by Robert P. Gordon. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
