Following the completion of the acclaimed five-volume Torah Commentary series, The Jewish Publication Society has embarked on the next phase of its biblical commentary project: individual volumes on the Five Megilloth and Jonah. The first in the series is Uriel Simon's Commentary on Jonah. Based on the same format and design as the Torah volumes, Simon's work provides a critical line-by-line commentary of the biblical text, which is presented in its original Hebrew, complete with vocalization and cantillation marks, as well as the 1985 JPS English translation. Dr. Simon also provides a scholarly introduction, extensive bibliographic and critical notes, and other explanatory material.
