Textual Criticism Of The Hebrew Bible

Since its initial publication in 1992, Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible has established itself as the indispensable resource for student, teacher, and researcher. In this completely revised fourth edition, Emanuel Tov once again proves himself the authority on the text of the Hebrew Bible. While Tov incorporates the last ten years of scholarship, including the new studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible presents a more simplified and practical analysis than its earlier editions. Simplification consists in the reduction of the theoretical introductory material in the first nine chapters. The practical aspects of this book are shown by the increase in tables, the many samples from scrolls and editions accompanied by explanations, and the suggestions for exercises.
