Summary: | Three newly discovered manuscripts from the Cambridge Genizah collection are presented. The manuscripts date from the 10—15th centuries, and contain unattested versions of Targum to Esther. The texts are shown to be comprised of three distinct sources: (1) Targum Rishon, (2) Targum Sheni, and (3) a hitherto unkown targum with very close parallels in Midrash Panim Aḥerim. After a brief introduction, the texts are presented in full, with accompanying annotation. The article concludes with an English translation of the texts and a short bibliography. |
