TgEsth3: Chapter 2 Verse 2
As per Bernard Grossfeld, The Aramaic Bible, Volume 18: The Two Targums of
Esther. (Collegeville, Minnesota: Michael Glazier, 1991), p. ix: "there
is no Targum Shelishi per se." Cf. forthcoming article in Textus by
Grossfeld and Roger Le De'aut. The problem of Targum Shelishi arises
from the text of the Esther Targum found in the Antwerp Polyglot = the
Biblia Regia of 1569-72 edited by Arias Montanus.
Cf. pages 24-25.
M. H. Goshen-Gottstein: this text represents a cut recension of the
Targum Rishon type after the fashion of sixteenth century humanistic
editing. P. Grelot considered this text a bona fide Aramaic targum.
Cf. Biblica 56 (1975) 53-73 and 301-329.
