stone"). The author, Shem-Tob ben-Isaac ben-Shaprut (sometimes called Ibn
Shaprot), was born in Tudela in Castile in the middle of the fourteenth century.
He later settled in Tarazona in Aragon where as a physician he practiced medi-
University of Georgia George Howard cine. There he completed the Even Bohan in 1380. He revised his work several
I April 1995 times-in 1385, around 1400, and even later-by adding another five books or
sections to the original twelve. 1 Most manuscripts contain either fifteen or sixteen
chapters, not always arranged in the same order. Of the original books, usually
the first deals with the principles of the Jewish faith, the next nine deal with
passages in the Bible that were disputed by Jews and Christians, the eleventh dis-
cusses haggadic sections in the Talmud used by Christians or Jewish proselytes
to Christianity, and the twelfth (sometimes thirteenth) contains the entire Gospel
of Matthew in Hebrew, with polemical comments by Shem-Tob interspersed
throughout the text.
Part one of the present volume contains the Hebrew text of Matthew found
in Shem-Tob's treatise. A critical apparatus, noting manuscript variation, accom-
panies the text, and an English translation appears on facing pages. The polemi-
cal comments of Shem-Tob have been eliminated so that the gospel text may run
continuously from beginning to end without interruption.
Part two contains an analysis ofShem-Tob's Hebrew Matthew, including its
place within the traditional Hebrew/Aramaic-Matthew tradition, and a literary,
textual, and theological profile.

H Ms. Mich. 137. Bodleian Library, Oxford.
All the manuscripts date between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries and
are written in various types of script. The best manuscript ofthe lot is the British
Library Ms. Add. 26964. Althought this copy is incomplete, covering Matt
1: 1-23:22, the excellent quality of its text demanded that it be printed. Manu-
script C is an almost exact replica of the British Library ms., including breaking
off at 23:22. It is written, however, in very small letters and is sometimes
difficult to read.
Another manuscript ofgood quality belongs to the Jewish Theological Semi-
nary of America, catalogued #2426 (noted as #16 by Marx in 'The Polemical
Manuscripts in the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America,"
252). It serves as the printed text for Matt 23:23-28:20. In the apparatus, it is
noted as ms. D. Manuscript A, from Leiden, is of fair quality, but has received
considerable revision with respect to improvements in grammar and assimilation
to the Greek and Latin texts. Manuscript B, from the Bodleian Library, is of
good quality, but is difficult to read. Because of the type of pen and ink used by
the scribe, the letters often run together and are sometimes indistinguishable.
Manuscripts E and F are virtually identical and are of mediocre quality. Manu-
script G is the poorest in quality of all the texts I have used. It is written in a
sloppy hand by a scribe who had little qualms in omitting and adding material.
ManuscriptH is only fragmentary, containing: 1:18b-19; 2:1,13,16-18; 3:16; 4:1;
5:27,28,31-34,38-40,43-44; 6:5,19-20; 7:6, 24-28; 9:10-13, 32-38; 11:11-15,

Interrelationships among the Witnesses
I make no attempt to trace the history of the text through the various recen-
sions of Shem-Tob's treatise, nor do I append a stemrna of manuscripts. The
individual Matthean texts, however, reveal certain relationships, and a brief dis-
cussion of these will perhaps be valuable.
Generally, the nine manuscripts may be divided into three groups. Group I
consists of British Library Ms. Add. no. 26964 and ms. C. With few exceptions,
these two writings are virtually identical. Both are carefully copied and show
minimal tendency toward scribal error and assimilation to the canonical Greek
and Latin.
Group II consists of A B H. Containing some differences, these mss. are
clearly related in text form. They are characterized by careful copying with few
scribal errors. They also show a tendency for assimilation to the Greek and Latin.
B is the best of this group, showing less assimilation than A. H is only frag-
mentary (see above).
Group III consists of D E F G. Mss. E and F are virtually identical, with D
and G often reading with them. The latter two also have many individual differ-
ences. This group is characterized by some scribal error and some assimilation
to the Greek and Latin. They are, however, less assimilated to the Greek and
Latin than Group II. D is by far the best of this group, G by far the worst.
Text and Apparatus
The present edition does not aim at producing an eclectic text of Shem-Tob's
Hebrew Matthew. Until a more complete evaluation of the Shem-Tob tradition
is aVa'ilable, the printing of an individual manuscript will serve for a working
text. The printed text comes from British Library Ms. Add. no. 26964 and ms.
D, as explained above, including the errors and inconsistencies in spelling and
grammar of each of these manuscripts. Periods and question marks have been
added editorially to the printed Hebrew. In a few instances, where the base text
contains a lacuna, the text ofanother manuscript has been selected to fill the gap.
In each instance, the supplementary text has been placed within parentheses (for
examples see 3:10a; 18:2b-5a).
Variant readings are noted in a critical apparatus. Except for plenary, or non-
plenary vocalization and a few illegible scriblings, the notation of all variants is
complete. The limited number of manuscripts used in the apparatus, of course,
xiv Hebrew Gospel

gives only a sampling of variation that occurs in the manuscript tradition as a

whole.

The Translation
Text and Translation
The translation attempts to be faithful to the Hebrew without being awkward
or wooden. The rough style of the Hebrew, however, is often reflected by the
English. Occasionally its sense is unclear (15:5; 16:21; 17:3) because the Hebrew
is unclear. Proper names are usually given their common English spellings except
where a different pronunciation is distinctly indicated by the Hebrew. In some
instances, a variant reading has been translated rather than the printed text. This
occurs where it is necessary for the sense ofthe text. These renderings are placed
within parentheses. In many instances the printed text is translated, in spite of
difficulties, in order to preserve a disparity between the Hebrew and the Greek.
In no sense is the translation a thoroughgoing eclectic rendering of the manu-
script tradition.

Abbreviations and Notations

manuscript because of a lacuna.

9 Then was fulfilled the word of Zechariah the prophet:
And I said to them: if it is good in your eyes, multiply my wages, but if
(not), forbear. So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
Then the Lord said to me: Cast it unto the potter. This is from the man
who forms clay,
10 as the Lord commanded.
II Jesus was standing before Pilate who asked him: Are you the king of
the Jews? Jesus said: You say it.
12 When Jesus was harassed by the chief priests and elders of the people
in regard to some word which they spoke against him, he did not reply.
13 Pilate said to him: Do you not see how much testimony there is against
you?
14 But Jesus did not answer him a word and Pilate was exceedingly
amazed by this.
IS On the day of the honored feast of Passover, it was their custom for the
commander of the city to give to the people one of the prisoners whom
they wished.
16 Pilate had a prisoner who was almost crazy: his name was Barabbas.
Taken in a case of murder, he had placed him in the dungeon.
17 When they were gathered together Pilate said to them: Which of these
do you wish that I should release, Barabbas or Jesus who is called
Messiah?
18 This was because Pilate knew that due to hatred without cause he had
been taken.
19 While he was sitting upon the throne his wife sent to him a messenger
saying: I implore you that in no matter should you speak a word against
this righteous man because in this night I have suffered many things in a
vision because of him.
20 The chief priests and the elders of the law assembled the people (that)
they might ask for Barabbas and that Jesus might die.
21 Pilate answered them: Which of them do you wish that we should re-
lease? They said Barabbas.
22 Pilate said to them: If so, what shall I do with Jesus who is called
Messiah? All of them answered that he should be hung.
23 Pilate said to them: What evil has he done? Then they vigorously cried
out: let them hang him, let them hang him, let them hang him.
