The proceedings of the conference on the targums in the light of Second Temple traditions have been published!

This international conference took place on June 27–28, 2011, in Strasbourg; I talked about the critique of power in the targums and its possible origins in the Second Temple period.

Here is my article:

Les targums et la critique du pouvoir à l’époque du Second Temple” in Thierry Legrand & Jan Joosten (ed.), The Targums in the Light of Traditions of the Second Temple Period, Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 167, Leiden, Brill, 2014, p. 191-207.

Enjoy! 😉
