‎Reissue of Erpenius's influential and much appraised Hebrew grammer, first published in 1621. It is notable for its systematic approach and innovative methods in the study of Hebrew pronunciation and it played a significant role in standardizing its syntax and pronunciation. Thomas Erpenius (1584-1624) was a distinguished orientalist and philologist renowned for his mastery of multiple languages, including Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Turkish, and Ethiopian. He was a professor at the University of Leiden. Withbound is a later edition of Buxtorf’s Syriac grammar.‎
