Talk:Me'am Lo'ez

Template?

There were many authors and translators of the Meam Loez. I think a template for them might be useful. NachMS (talk) 00:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You can find a complete template as an appendix to the first volume of The Torah Anthology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.182.84.169 (talk) 23:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Meaning

What does Me'am Lo'ez mean? --Error (talk) 02:50, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

on Torah or Tanakh?

Most of the books on the tanakh (besides the Torah) that we find in Yakult Me'am Loez and Torah Anthology were done in the 1960s by Shmuel Yerushalmi, seemingly in Hebrew (never Ladino). So the opening that it is "a widely studied commentary on the Tanakh written in Judaeo-Spanish" doesn't seem right.

From Encyclopedia Judaica, "Moses Magriso completed the volumes on Exodus (2 vols., Constantinople, 1733, 1746), Leviticus (1753), and Numbers (1764). Isaac Behar Argśeti wrote only a part of his commentary on Deuteronomy (1772). Both Magriso and Argśeti followed Culi so faithfully that the Me-Am Lo'ez on the [5 books of the torah] maybe considered a unified work. Using the same method, others sought to cover the rest of the Bible and complete the undertaking. Joseph di Trani of Constantinople wrote on Joshua (2 vols., 1850, 1870);"

I think that the opening should read "a widely studied commentary on the Torah written in Judaeo-Spanish" but perhaps it can be mentioned in the next lines that the work has since been continued on to the rest of the Tanakh, primarily in Hebrew. Billyball998 (talk) 18:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
