Biography
Dr Alinda Damsma teaches Biblical Hebrew in the Department of Hebrew and
Jewish Studies at University College London (UCL). She received her
Bachelor and Master of Divinity from the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
(2003) and her PhD from the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, UCL
(2008). She formerly taught Biblical Hebrew at various levels at Leo
Baeck College (also Biblical & Targumic Aramaic), King’s College
London and the University of Oxford. Her past publications focused on
Aramaic, the Targums, and Jewish mysticism, including her monograph The
Targumic Toseftot to Ezekiel (Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers, 2012).
She is currently working on two monographs: a grammar of the Zohar, and a

English Bible translations, particularly the King James Version and its
predecessors, and their impact on the early modern witch-hunts. Her
research interests are the Hebrew Bible, Bible translations, Semitics
(specifically Paleo-Hebrew, Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic), Jewish
