A Grammar of Samaritan Hebrew by Abraham Tal
The Hebrew language comes down to us in several dialects, each ethnic community having its own unique tradition of pronunciation. The author examines whether the Samaritans carefully maintained their language heritage, as they did their observance of tradition, preserving it from the time when they spoke Hebrew. This work presents a detailed analysis of Samaritan Hebrew. Co-published with the Magnes Press of Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
