The attribution, by the Babylonian Talmud, of this Targum to
Jonathan ben Uzziel is suspect on several counts: among others, the
silence concerning Jonathan in the parallel passage in the
Palestinian Talmud, and the fanciful suggestion that Onkelos=Aquila
and Jonathan=Theodotion. The attribution, therefore, is not to be
taken as historical fact. The Talmud may have been attempting to
enhance the authority of the Targum by claiming authorship by a
disciple of Hillel, which Jonathan was.
It is generally agreed that the author of the Targum Jonathan is
unknown; in fact, it is preferable to consider multiple authorship.
For while language and translation techniques are uniform, there is
variety from book to book.
