Book excerpt: This catalogue will serve as an essential research tool for scholars studying early manuscriptal evidence of targumic literature. It provides a descriptive entry for every targum fragment in the Cambridge Genizah Collections. 1600 fragments - spanning a period of almost a thousand years - have been identified among the 140,000 items in Cambridge. The freshly identified manuscripts will provide the basis for topical research in the fields of Semitic languages, targumic studies, and the history of rabbinic Bible translation.
