About this Item
Description:
Missing dust jacket; Readable copy. Pages may have considerable notes/highlighting. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less. Seller Inventory # G0023672501I5N01
Synopsis:
For courses in Biblical Literature.
The choice of vocabulary and grammar, in this text, is essentially an introduction to the prose, not the poetical language. By keeping the grammatical discussion at a relatively unsophisticated level the text can be used for study without a teacher.
Review: 'Professor Lambdin spent ten years perfecting this book ... the book was worth ten years waiting for. Systematic, clear with all inessentials pruned, it presents Biblical Hebrew in depth and, of course, is first-rate preparation for anyone who wants to gain more than a superficial knowledge of modern Hebrew ... there simply is no substitute for books like Professor Lambdin's.' -- The Jewish Chronicle

Hardcover. Condition: Good -. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The choice of vocabulary and grammar, in this book, is essentially an introduction to the prose, not the poetical language. Generous use of transliteration is meant to serve three purposes: 1) it enables the reader to perceive Hebrew as a language and not an exercise in decipherment, 2) it removes the obstacles to mastering innumerable pages of abstract phonological and orthographic details, and 3) facilitate the memorization of the paradigms. By keeping the grammatical discussion at a relatively unsophisticated level the text can be used for study without a teacher. Designed to be a full year college text on the topic. Preface, Contents, Introduction, 55 Lessons, 5 Appendices, both Hebrew-English & English-Hebrew Glossaries, and Index. xxviii + 345pp. Thomas Oden Lambdin (1927-2020) was a leading scholar of the Semitic and Egyptian languages. He received his PhD in 1952 from John Hopkins and retired as a Professor of Semitic Languages for Harvard. He is best remembered for the quality of his introductory texts on Biblical Hebrew, Coptic, Ge'ez, and Gothic languages. Hardcover has gray paper boards with metallic red ink lettering on covers and spine, but no DJ. Handled with care, at first looks very good or better with square corners and minor shelf-wear. However, this book has been heavily studied with notes in margins and underlining in text from Lesson One through Twenty (pages 1 - 94). Page-edges show this portion of the book handled extensively in this area - some pages dog-earred. Remainder of book (except glossaries) look untouched. End-pages have notes & post-it notes. Study aids and notes laid in. Interior is complete and tightly bound. Heavily used but not abused. ? Size: 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall, 373pp. ? Condition: Good minus Hardcover without Dust Jacket - Always privately owned. Extensive notes and highlighting in book almost every page through lesson 18 (1st 81 pages of text) Copyright 1971. Printed in U.S.A. Print-line indicates this copy from 25th printing in 1976. ISBN: 0-02-367250-1. LCCN: 75-100128. No MSR. Prior Owner Name No Value. Seller Inventory # 008234
