Synopses & Reviews
This book is an outgrowth of the Dahood Memorial Lectures delivered at the University of Michigan, February 8–10, 1983. It attempts four things: to describe the orthographic phenomena of the Hebrew Bible; to assess the evidence by means of appropriate statistical analyses; to interpret the evidence in terms of the history of Hebrew spelling; and to speculate on the significance of this evidence for studies in the production and transmission of the text.
