Genizah Piyyutim: Late literary Aramaic piyyutim from the Cairo Genizah not included as JPA in Yahalom and Sokoloff SYAP (see file no. 53420). The reader should also note that some of the poems published by M. Klein within his "Genizah Manuscripts of the Palestinian Targum to the Pentateuch" and thus included in DJPA, probably are better assigned to this category. The student should note that not all the Aramaic poetic material found in the Genizah or subsequent manuscript sources is included in our database. The paytanic tradition was a tradition of literary inventiveness, and the poets willingly and gleefully combined Hebrew and Aramaic sources and allusions and gave themselves tasks such as writing extensive poems using (almost) only words from Biblical Aramaic. Subsequent but inevitable scribal corruption makes the identification of those texts that might reflect a consistent and authentic dialect difficult if not impossible.
