Canon and Apocrypha in Neon Genesis Evangelion
In a frequently cited quotation, Kazuya Tsurumaki, the assistant director of the popular anime Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE), claimed that the show’s Christian symbolism is incidental to its overall meaning. As a result of this statement, it has become axiomatic that the religious references in NGE are purely ornamental. In fact, many references cannot be visual flourishes because they are not visual at all. The religious references consist of th…
The Aramaic Dream of Mordechai as a Targum of Sefer Yosippon
This article examines the textual history and status of the Dream of Mordecai , an Aramaic text based ultimately on the Old Greek additions to Esther. The study traces how these additions first re-entered Jewish literature through the 10th-century Hebrew chronicle Sefer Yosippon before being translated into Aramaic and appended to manuscripts of Targum Sheni to Esther. While the Dream of Mordecai never achieved canonical status, it can be conside…

The date of Targum Pseudo-Jonathan has been the occasion of much controversy, with propositions ranging from the Second Temple period to the time of the Crusades. Related to the Targum is the late midrashic work Pirqe deRabbi Eliezer (eighth century), but the nature of this relationship is disputed. The present article proposes that the Targum depends unilaterally on PRE , based on two principal arguments: 1. PRE does not refer to common Targumic…
