Book Synopsis A Biblical Translation in the Making by : Richard C. Steiner
Book excerpt: The Tafsīr, a new translation of the Torah made by R. Saadia Gaon (882-942 C.E.) for Arabic-speaking Jews, was the most important Jewish Bible translation of the Middle Ages. Richard Steiner traces the Tafsīr's history--its ancient and medieval roots, modest beginnings, subsequent evolution, and profound impact on the history of biblical exegesis.
