About the Book -- A Grammar of Mishnaic Hebrew

More than any other, this book makes the subject is accessible to scholars who are not fluent in modern Hebrew. Published originally in 1927 by Oxford Press, it has not yet been replaced. In it, Segal clarifies the relationships between Biblical and Mishnaic Hebrew. Preceding authors had place emphases on the differences between two periods and viewed BH and MH as sequential development. Segal's approach was that if Mishnaic Hebrew was the language of everyday life, it had to contain a large number of words that were absent from the Bible. The result had to be two co-existing sets of vocabularies, i.e. there had to bee two different sets of words: one used for literature and the other for day-to-day communications. A great review of this work can be read on the website of openedition.org http://bcrfj.revues.org/index642.html#text
