"These volumes represent the highest level of scholarship on what is arguably the
most important tradition of Biblical Hebrew. Written by the leading scholar of the
Tiberian Masoretic tradition, they offer a wealth of new data and revised analysis,
and constitute a considerable advance on existing published scholarship. It should
stand alongside Israel Yeivin's ‘The Tiberian Masorah' as an essential handbook for
scholars of Biblical Hebrew, and will remain an indispensable reference work for decades
to come. The form of Biblical Hebrew that is presented in printed editions, with vocalization
and accent signs, has its origin in medieval manuscripts of the Bible. The vocalization
and accent signs are notation systems that were created in Tiberias in the early Islamic
period by scholars known as the Tiberian Masoretes, but the oral tradition they represent
has roots in antiquity. The grammatical textbooks and reference grammars of Biblical
Hebrew in use today are heirs to centuries of tradition of grammatical works on Biblical
Hebrew in Europe. The paradox is that this European tradition of Biblical Hebrew grammar
did not have direct access to the way the Tiberian Masoretes were pronouncing Biblical
Hebrew.In the last few decades, research of manuscript sources from the medieval Middle
East has made it possible to reconstruct with considerable accuracy the pronunciation
of the Tiberian Masoretes, which has come to be known as the ‘Tiberian pronunciation
tradition'. This book presents the current state of knowledge of the Tiberian pronunciation
tradition of Biblical Hebrew and a full edition of one of the key medieval sources,
Hidāyat al-Qāriʾ ‘The Guide for the Reader', by ʾAbū al-Faraj Hārūn. It is hoped
that the book will help to break the mould of current grammatical descriptions of
Biblical Hebrew and form a bridge between modern traditions of grammar and the school
of the Masoretes of Tiberias.Links and QR codes in the book allow readers to listen
to an oral performance of samples of the reconstructed Tiberian pronunciation by Alex
Foreman. This is the first time Biblical Hebrew has been recited with the Tiberian
pronunciation for a millennium" -- From publisher's website.
