About the author (2006)

Israel Drazin is the author of seven books, five of which are on Targum Onkelos. He was the first scholar to recognize that the Targum took hundreds of items from the Tannaitic Midrashim- those that were edited around 400 C.E.- and even incorporated many words found in these Midrashim in his translation. He was able, therefore, to date the Targum Onkelos around 400 C.E., a period much later than is widely accepted, because of the TargumĀ s reliance upon these Midrashim. Dr. Stanley M. Wagner, z l, was Rabbi of the Beth HaMedrosh HaGadol Congregation in Denver, Colorado, for twenty-five years, during which time he was also a professor of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver, as well as Founding Director of the Mizel Museum in Denver. He wrote, co-authored, edited, or co-edited fifteen volumes, including the five-volume Onkelos on the Torah, A Piece of My Mind, Traditions of the American Jew, Great Confrontations in Jewish History, and Great Schisms in Jewish History. He was also general editor of a six-volume series entitled Christian and Jewish Traditions in the 20th Century. Professor Wagner received six degrees of higher learning from Yeshiva University, including a doctorate in Jewish history. Before his recent demise, he resided in Jerusalem.
