Onkelos Und Akylas (Classic Reprint) (German Edition)
(Excerpt from Onkelos und Akylas Der Uebersetzung eines ...)
Excerpt from Onkelos und Akylas Der Uebersetzung eines religiosen Schriftthums konnen dreierlei Motive zu Grunde liegen. Der naturliche Anlass hiezu ist ein wissenschaftlicher. Man will die Ideen und Anschau ungen, welche diese Schriften enthalten, kennen lernen. Ein anderer Anlass ist religioser Natur. Es war namlich und ist auch heute noch Brauch, einen Abschnitt aus dem Penta teuch, wie aus den Propheten an Sabbathen, Fest und Fast tagen der versammelten Gemeinde vorzulesen. Diese Vor lesung bildete bei den Juden der alteren Zeit, solange noch der Opfereultus bestand, den wesentlichen Bestandtheil des Gottesdienstes. Nun hatten aber viele Gemeinden der Diaspora die nationale Sprache, das Hebraische, in welcher die heiligen Bucher geschrieben sind, entweder langst ganz vergessen oder nur noch theilweise verstanden. Es geschah dies, je nachdem die Gemeinde unter einem Stamme gelebt hatte, dessen Sprache nur ein anderes Idiom des Hebraischen war, oder ob sie unter einem Stamme lebte, dessen Sprache nichts mit dem Hebraischen gemein hatte. Es ergab sich hieraus die Neth wendigkeit, die heilige Schrift zu ubersetzen. Das Verstandniss der hebraischen Sprache, welches ein besonders eingehendes Studium erfordert, war zu jener Zeit, da Sprachen nicht nach Lehrbuchern sondern nur durch praktische Uebungen erlernt werden konnten, viel schwieriger zu erreichen als heutzutage.

Meir Friedmann
Edit ProfileEducation
In 1858 he entered the University of Vienna.
Career
His editions of the Midrash are the standard texts. His chief editions were the Sifre (1864), the Mekhilta (1870), Pesiqla Rabbathi (1880). At the time of his death he was editing the Sifra. Friedmann, while inspired with regard for tradition, dealt with the Rabbinic texts on modern scientific methods, and rendered conspicuous service to the critical investigation of the Midrash and to the history of early homilies. (I. A. )
At twenty, while living at Miskolc, where he earned his livelihood by giving Talmud instruction, he took up secular studies. In 1864, when the Vienna bet ha-midrash was founded, he was chosen as teacher of the Bible and Midrash. Later he was hired as a professor in the Israelitisch-Theologische Lehranstalt. Among his students there was Solomon Schechter.
