Summary: A Century of Jastrow...
Comment: It has been 100 years since the original Dictionary was published and yet, people are still using Marcus Jastrow's magnum opus. This year is also a milestone, for it is also Marcus Jastrow's 100th anniversary. Enjoy the new edition of the Dictionary!

Summary: 85-year-old Edition needs new plates and updating
Comment: Impressive work of scholarship, especially when one realizes this was compiled before the advent of computers and word processors. I agree with the previous reviewer: the text needs to be reset, as the type is unreadable in many places. One can also assume that since the 1910's (when the Jastrow first appeared,) new research based on, for example, the Qumran texts has expanded our knowledge of Aramaic, as well as post-second Temple times. Until that happens, this is the one to get.

Summary: Generally helpful
Comment: "The Jastrow" is a generally helpful source in the study of all Judaic texts. Its combination of Aramaic and Hebrew is helpful; although it is not organized very well, it is an indispensible tool in the translation of texts. The dictionary's best feature is its cross-references, which are especially helpful when searching for an unknown source.
