Vilnius Codex 262 contains a translation from Hebrew into Belorussian of the Song of Songs and the Books of Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther, composed just when Belorussian was emerging in its modern form. The manuscript of the Five Scrolls is displayed here in a complete photographic reproduction, accompanied by a transcription on facing pages. The introductory chapters and the critical commentary highlight the text’s distinctiveness from other, non-Jewish translations of the Bible into Slavic, and its affinity with translations into languages of the Jewish Diaspora. The last portion of the work is a complete Belorussian-Hebrew Concordance, compiled by Dr. M. Taube.
