Description
Summary:In this article I describe the re-identification of two Targum manuscripts thought to be lost. (1) A Pentateuch with Targum formerly held in the convent of S. Salvatore, Bologna (Kennicott 532): I show that the lost manuscript is identical with MS. Vatican ebr. 608, and provide an updated catalogue summary of the Hebrew manuscripts from the convent’s library. (2) A manuscript of Writings Targums in Turin, National University Library, 22 (A.II.2): an examination of the restored remains of the manuscript reveals it contains a hitherto unknown copy of the Aramaic Dream of Mordecai.
