Mem-Nun

With the publication of volume 5, this acclaimed Dictionary, the first to encompass the Bible, Ben Sira, the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient Hebrew inscriptions, is now more than half complete. The entire Dictionary is expected to be available by 2005. What they are saying about the Dictionary: - ... combining the strengths of the Ýlexicographical ̈ tradition-thoroughness, comprehensiveness, meticulous 'old-fashioned' textual scholarship-with impeccable 20th-century linguistic theory. J.F.A. Sawyer, Lancaster. - Secure and systematic. Johan Lust, Leuven - A magnificent gift offered to all scholars. Z. Kapera, Cracow - A freshly conceived work ... an imaginatively large-scale enterprise. William Horbury, Cambridge. - A fabulous reference work which is a must for every Hebrew scholar. Andrew G. Vaughn, Princeton. - A monumental event in the history of Hebrew lexicography. Geoffrey Khan, Cambridge. - An absolutely necessary work, bold, urgent and indispensable. C. Minette de Tillesse, Brazil. - It is indeed Ýlike the Lexicon of Brown, Driver and Briggs in 1892 ̈ 'a landmark and a glory for the generation which produced Ýit ̈'. C.S. Rodd, Editor, The Expository Times. - If there is anything sensational about the contemporary study of ancient Hebrew, then one must say: It is in book form, and the book is called the Sheffield Dictionary of Classical Hebrew ... Absolutely indispensable! Bernhard Lang, Paderborn and St Andrews.
