M. Brady is an exegetical study of Targum Ruth with a focus upon the transformation of the biblical characters into exemplars of rabbinic piety. Ruth becomes the ideal proselyte while Boaz is presented as a judge, a scholar of the Law, and a prophet. Brady demonstrates that the Targumist follows standard Targumic practice, rendering each Hebrew word of the biblical text into Aramaic, while making additions that further his agenda of presenting Ruth as a rabbinic model to be emulated.  In addition to the character analysis Brady provides a transcription of the manuscript Valmadonna 1, a new translation into English, and a verse-by-verse commentary of Targum Ruth.","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586054848855,"sku":"9789004329676","price":99.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-proselyte-and-the-prophet-character-development-in-targum-ruth-9789004329676","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
