The first four chapter of Genesis given in Hebrew, with the latin translation of Arias Montanus, followed by the Targum Onkelos, the Tarhum Honathan, and the Targum Jerusalem, all Aramaic translations of an early period. Paraphrases in Syriac, Samaritan, Arabic, Ethiopian, and Persian, each with a verbal Latin translation, follow. The concluding chapters provide ancient commentaries and interpretaions to the four chapters. "The texts are preceded by a model analysis of the grammars of each of these languages, and they are followed by eight glossaries, listing and explaining all the words which occur in the texts." - Hoefer.RELIGION; LANGUAGE; FRANKFURT PRINTED; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
