RT Article T1 ‘Rav Yoseph Said … As We Translate’: On the Contribution of Translation to Talmudic Discourse JF Aramaic studies VO 12 IS 1 SP 9 OP 26 A1 Smelik, Willem F. LA English PB Brill YR 2014 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1505319358 AB The role of Aramaic translations for the argument of Talmudic discourse has rarely been analysed. This essay charts the way translations are used in connection with the animal hides used to manufacture the Tabernacle’s tent cover. The examples include marked, unmarked, anonymous and ascribed quotations of translations. The use of translation is sometimes pivotal but highly subject to change. Rav Yoseph’s translation in b. Shab. 28a originally served as an objection, but has been placed in a new co-text. It still performs a more than peripheral role for the flow and turn of argument in the Talmudic discourse.
