Onkelos On the Torah: Understanding the Bible Text is a unique and
remarkable translation and English commentary of the Targum Onkelos,
the first and only rabbinically authorized translation of the Torah.
The Book of Exodus, the first of this five- volume set to be
published. is a deluxe edition, which will contain the Hebrew
Massoretic text, a vocalized text of Onkelos and Rashi, Haphtarot in
Hebrew with an English translation from the Aramaic Targumim, a
scholarly appendix, and a Beyond the Text exploration of biblical themes.
The Book of Genesis is being readied for publication and is expected
to be released in approximately six months. The remaining volumes are
to be published in yearly intervals.
About the authors:
Israel Drazin is the author of seven books, five of which are on
Targum Onkelos. He was the first scholar to recognize that the Targum
took hundreds of items from the Tannaitic Midrashim---those that were
edited around 400 C.E.---and even incorporated many words found in
these Midrashim in his translation. He was able, therefore, to date
the Targum Onkelos around 400 C.E., a period much later than is
widely accepted, because of the Targum's reliance upon these Midrashim.
Stanley M. Wagner is Rabbi Emeritus of The Beth HaMedrosh
HaGadol-Beth Joseph Congregation in Denver, Colorado; Professor
Emeritus at the University of Denver and Founding Director and
Director Emeritus of its Center for Judaic Studies; and Founding
Director and Director Emeritus of the Mizel Museum in Denver. He
wrote, edited, or co-edited four volumes, A Piece of My Mind,
Traditions of the American Jew, Great Confrontations in Jewish
History and Great Schisms in Jewish History and was General Editor of
a six volume series entitled Christian and Jewish Traditions in the
20th Century.
