Page xx:
...the Latin term Dodekapropheten
That term is actually Greek - Δωδεκαπρόφητον. The Latin term is Duodecim prophetae.
Page 234: Targum to Jonah should be Targum Jonathan
Page 234: Tg. Ps-J 1:1 should be Tg. Ps-J Nah 1:1
Page 235:
The rabbis identified the prophet Micah as the same Micah who hires a young Levite to serve as his idolatrous priest in the book of Judges.
This is utterly false which is why the author does not provide any reference for this outrageous claim.
Page 235:
Rabbinic legends note that Micah was an idolator who left Egypt with the Israelites and who...made it in the desert using silver that he had taken from Egypt (b. Pesaḥ. 117a).
The Talmudic reference is wrong. The Talmud mentions Micah's idol there, but not how he made it.
Page 238:
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi were said to be legal experts who were involved in determining the length of a leap month (b. Naz. 53a), rendered foods pure or impure (m. Mid. 3:1; b. Zebah. 62a; t. Taʿan. 2:1, 3:5) made changes regarding Temple service, such as enlarging the Temple altar and revising the schedule of priestly rotation (b. Meg.3a)
None of the rabbinic references actually say what the author attributes to them.
Page 238:  
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi...also oversaw Jonathan ben Uzziel's translation of the Prophets into Aramaic, which according to rabbinic legend, provoked a divinely wrought earthquake because it made God's secrets accessible to the Gentiles (b. Yoma 9b, b. Sotah 48b, b. Sang. 11a)
'Sang.' is obviously a typo for 'Sanh.' In fact, none of these three Talmudic references actually mention the legend the author claims they mention.
Page 238:
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi were also associated with a general decline in the Jews' relationship with God that took place during their lifetimes. (b. ʿAbod. Zar 2b; b. Sanh. 97b; b. Nid. 70b).
None of these Talmudic references associate these prophets with a general decline in the Jews' relationship with God.
Page 238:
The rabbinic notion that Haggai's book signals the period during which prophecy came to an end may be connected to the fact that Haggai's literary style was viewed as inferior to the style of other biblical prophets (y. Mak 2:6; y. Hor. 3:2; b. Yoma. 21b)
None of these rabbinic references comment on Haggai's literary style.
