Abstract


University Library Ms. Or. 645, f. 110r (ol. Warner 65 F) contains, besides a draft for an Aramaic prologue to the work on Targum written by Alonso de Zamora ca. 1532, additional notes written by himself dealing with the comission he received to copying Targumic texts. The present article improves the edition of the Aramaic prologue, previously published by Neubauer (1895), offering a Spanish translation and the edition of the marginal notes, that contain a draft of the prayers (תפלותופיהספדים) for the partial colophons of the books of Ezekiel, Hosea and Joel’s Targums. These pa - tial colophons in the Leiden Ms. coincide with the clean drafts by Zamora preserved in an autograph manuscript, Salamanca University Library Ms. M-3 (Est.-1, Cajón I-Núm. 2). An explanation concerning additional annotations (the incipit of Isaiah 57), that spoiled the folio, and led it to its being re-used by Alonso de Zamora as a draft.
