The Aramaic Bible: The Isaiah Targum : Introduction, Translation, Apparatus and Notes (Aramaic Bible)

Rating:
Summary: One caveat: THIS IS ONLY A TRANSLATION.
Review:

This work is fine, for what it is... What it is NOT (and I assume the entire series is not), is an Aramaic Bible.

Note the category "Religion and Spirituality": Unlike the misleading series _title_, the ... _category_ doesn't say anything about the Aramaic language. When I bought this book, I was looking for an actual Aramaic Targum of Isaiah. Not here, folks.

I may eventually find a use for this volume anyway -- Chilton is a first-rate scholar -- but I was VERY disappointed to find that there was NO ARAMAIC TEXT OF THE ISAIAH TARGUM in it; it is ONLY a translation and notes. If you're looking for the genuine article, you're going to pay hundreds of dollars for it (probably directly to the publisher).
