description: 'It is already evident...that the publication of this major edition of the Targum is an important event in the history of Biblical and Aramaic studies.'<br>"Booklist of the Society for Old Testament Study, 1960.<br>'Im ubrigen erfullt diese Textausgabe nicht nur ein dringendes Bedurfnis, sondern scheint auch, soweit sie uberhaupt uberprufbar war angesichts der Auswahl der benutzten Unterlagen aus den vielen untersuchten Handschriften und Drucken sowie des klaren und sorgfaltigen Drucks alles Zutrauen zu verdienen...'<br>"Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, 1960.<br>'[Part IVB]...a highly interesting and important study...'<br>D. Winton Thomas, "Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. 9, 2.<br>'...une oeuvre qui est appelee a rendre, pendant longtemps, les plus grands services aux exegetes de la Bible hebraique...'<br>A. Guillaumont, "Revue de l'Histoire des Religions, 1962.<br>'... For the specialist, they provide considerable interest...the repository of what official Judaism considered the normative interpretation of a verse in question... It is the Semitic philologist...who will find Dr. Sperber's volumes indispensable...'<br>Frank Zimmermann, "Jewish Social Studies, 1962.<br>'... Dr. Sperber spent over forty years producing his "magnum opus...more than mechanical work was involved in editing such a huge amount of data...numerous crucial decisions had to be made, many of these based upon a very intimate knowledge of the character of the Targums...the amount of work required by a project of this type staggers the imagination...this fourth volume is a thorough study of the character of the Aramaic of the Targums...'<br>Larry L. Walker, "Southwestern Journal of Theology, 1975.
