This dissertation presents the first critical edition of the Aramaic Targum (translation) of the Biblical Book of Psalms, chapters 1-72. All known complete medieval manuscripts of this Targum were examined and recorded by the author, and compared to the Breslau manuscript--which has been selected to serve as the base text. The use of a computer for recording, manipulation, and printing of data was also an important innovation. A section of "Notes" is appended--dealing with certain orthographic, scribal, and linguistic features. / The Introduction ("Part One") discusses the nature of Targum in general and of the Targum of Psalms in particular; the contribution of this edition and the method used in its production; the features of the various manuscripts; and the Hebrew text upon which the Targum is based.
