Summary: | The Fragment Targums contain selections of verses from the Pentateuch and form a distinct textual family within the Palestinian Targum tradition. To date, our understanding of their textual tradition has been based on nine manuscripts (excluding those copied from printed texts). This article introduces another manuscript of Fragment Targum that has been previously overlooked. The article describes the manuscript’s content, provides a preliminary characterisation of the text’s relationship to the other extant witnesses of the Fragment Targums and the other Pentateuchal Targums, and considers some possible implications of this new witness for our understanding of the origins, purpose, and transmission history of the Fragment Targums. |
