The Hebrew accents of the twenty-one Books of the Bible
Quantity
Book description
There is a well-known rule formulated by the famous and sagacious Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra (XII century): "No interpretation can be accepted if it does not correspond to massoretic punctuation."
The sacred writings of the Torah, Prophets and Hagiographs were written in an archaic style, the letters were not accompanied by vowels and punctuation marks.
There was nothing inside the sacred text to indicate how it was traditionally read, except for a small manual.
Reading the text was taught orally, and thus it was passed down from generation to generation.
It was, in the fancy language of the Talmud, "Mosaic tradition adopted at Sinai."
The purpose of this book "Hebrew Accents" is the twenty-one books of the Bible and everything connected with them: their origin, development, history, and also the function of these symbols.
