{"product_id":"scribal-wit-david-marcus-9781611439045","title":"Scribal Wit: Aramaic Mnemonics in the Leningrad Codex","description":"This book presents a detailed analysis of the Aramaic mnemonics, those short witty sentences written in Aramaic as memory aids in the margins of one of the oldest extant biblical Hebrew manuscripts, the Leningrad Codex (1008 CE). The material is presented in clear, user-friendly charts. Each mnemonic is set alongside the Hebrew verses it represents. This book demonstrates the ingenuity of the Masoretes in their grand endeavor to preserve the text of the Hebrew Bible precisely in the form that it had reached them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Marcus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611439043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611439045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gorgias Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"David Marcus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45933967933695,"sku":"9781611439045","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07fac6fb-c72f-4f84-9c60-a8166af67f6e.jpg?v=1721790029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scribal-wit-david-marcus-9781611439045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
