One of the most obscure passages in the book of Isaiah, chapter 21
contains oracles concerning foreign nations. The author deals in
depth with the textual and linguistic problems presented by the
text; he also considers the historical background of the prophecy,
the literary forms concerned and the traditions of interpreatation
in ancient medieval and modern times. In studying these traditions,
Mr Macintosh makes extensive use of medieval Jewish commentators
whose work is not generally available in Enlglish.
