Professor Moshe Bar-Asher, Professor Emeritus at the Hebrew
University and long-time president of the Academy of the Hebrew
Language, has published more than 200 articles and sixteen books
and edited aboout 90 books and collections. The vast majority of
his work has been accessible, however, only to specialists who read
modern Hebrew or French. Bar-Asher's groundbreaking articles on the
dialects of rabbinic literature are classics. In more recent years
he has brought the same breadth and depth of grammatical knowledge,
and philological acumen, to the study of older classical Hebrew
texts, including literary and epigraphic texts. This volume
presents studies of individual words and verses within the Bible,
as well as broader thematic discussions of biblical language and
its long reception-history, down through medieval scribes and
modern lexicographers. Also represented are Bar-Asher's penetrating
studies of Qumran texts and languages, which illuminate both the
linguistic traditions reflected in these texts and the scribal
culture from which they emerged. The third section contains studies
of Mishnaic Hebrew. There are both sweeping surveys of the field
and its accomplishments and challenges, and studies of specific
phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical features.
