Igra de-taanita is aramaic for Megilat taanit -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joan C Biella Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 3:42 PM To: heb-naco@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Subject: help with Aramaic? Friends, I'm cataloging a book with a title that I don't understand. It seems it must be either Agra de-ta'anita or, maybe, Igra de-ta'anita Can you tell me which? If "agra," is this the "agra" that means "meretorious deed"? Or what?? Perhaps needless to say, the book is a commentary on Masekhet Ta'anit. Thank you-- Joan P.S. The author is Nahum Avraham of Monsey, N.Y.--publication date, 767.
