Description

Hebrew language has its roots in Semitic origins and developed over time to become distinct. This comprehensive history covers the evolution from ancient Biblical poetry and inscriptions to the present day, examining key periods such as the medieval traditions of pointing classical texts and the post-exilic language. Professor Sáenz-Badillos explores the characteristics of Hebrew, including its revival in this century in Israeli Hebrew. The book delves into Rabbinic and medieval Hebrew, particularly as seen in writings from Spain, providing a detailed survey of the language's development. A thorough examination of Hebrew's history is presented in this authoritative work, making it an essential resource for those interested in linguistics and historical languages.
