The targum – referred to as “Manuscript Barzani” – is a written preservation of a tradition of Jewish Neo-Aramaic Bible translation, originally transmitted in oral form among the religious leaders of a community in Iraqi Kurdistan. It represents a literary form of the Neo-Aramaic spoken by the Jews of the Rewanduz/Arbel region. Within their community, the targum was used in the schools to teach the language and text of the Hebrew Bible to the young men UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463211622 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463211622 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463211622/original ER -
