A study of the Late Jewish Literary Aramaic of Targum Canticles, demonstrating how grammatical anomalies can be informative of literary influences, composition process, and Aramaic diachrony.

Targum Canticles, composed in the dialectally eclectic idiom of Late Jewish Literary Aramaic (LJLA), had immense historic popularity among Jewish communities worldwide. In this work, Paul R. Moore thoroughly analyses several of the Targum’s grammatical peculiarities overlooked by previous studies. Through this prism, he considers its literary influences, composition, and LJLA as a precursor of the highly eccentric Aramaic of the 13th century Spanish cabalistic masterpiece, The Zohar. The study includes transcriptions and analysis of the previously unpublished of fragments of the Targum from the Cairo Geniza, and what is possibly its earliest, known translation into Judaeo-Arabic.

Paul R. Moore, Ph.D. (2021), University College London, is Honorary Research Fellow at that university. His research interests include Hebrew, Aramaic, and Judaeo-Arabic language and linguistics. He has a special interest in the Hebrew Bible.
