It is with great sorrow that the editors of the Newsletter announce the death of Ernest Clarke, founding President of the International Organization for Targumic Study, former Editor of the Newsletter, scholar, colleague, and friend. He died on Sunday, November 23.

The proposed Journal for the Aramaic Bible is steadily moving towards reality. Two presses have put forward solid offers and the members of the Editorial Board are now evaluating them. There will be an official announcement of the journal at the IOTS meeting this summer, with the first issue appearing in January of 1999. Please direct any inquiries to the Editor in Chief, Professor Johannes de Moor, at the address below.
