The Arabic Translation and Commentary of Yefet ben ʿEli on the Book of Job
Volume 2: English Translation. Karaite Texts and Studies Series, Volume 15
Series: - Études sur le judaïsme médiéval, Volume: 100/15
Author:
This volume consists of an English translation of Sadan's edition (published in KTS 12) of the Arabic translation and commentary on the book of Job by one of the preeminent litterateurs of the Karaite “Golden Age” (10th–11th centuries), Yefet ben ‘Eli ha-Levi. This English translation grants readers access to one of the earliest systematic witnesses to Jewish exegetical thought--and hence its history and development--on this fascinating biblical book, among both Karaites as well as Rabbanites.
Arik Sadan, Ph.D. (2010), Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is Associate Professor and Chair of Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at Shalem College in Jerusalem. His research fields are Arabic grammatical thought, Arabic linguistics and Judaeo-Arabic. He has published four books and several articles in these fields.
