The Book of Jonah and its first jewish interpretations
GIULIANI, Giovanni
The work deals with the differences and similarities that the versions of the book of Jonah present in the Jewish tradition manifest. It deals especially with the Masoretic version text, the text of the Septuagint, the text of the Targum and the midrash which refer to the book of Jonah. The differences found between the versions are accompanied, where possible, by a clarification based on the studies reported in the bibliography.

For thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee
PECOVÁ, Lenka
This paper is concerned with synchronic analysis of the biblical text. The text has been analyzed according to various narrative methods, as presented in the manual by J. L. Ska. The Book of Jonah is an extremely complex and elaborated text. It is basically a narration, determined by a precise Hebrew syntax. In the Book of Jonah, we may find three interlaced plots. This fact makes of the book, one of the shortest books in the Old Testament, a precious literary masterpiece. The most secondary literature affirms that the main theme of the Book consists in God{\crq}s grace and mercy. But the narrative analysis discovers also the importance of the prophet himself, who is a splendid image of the mankind, and his wonderful complexness.
