Book excerpt: "Massoretic studies is an extremely recondite branch of Biblical Studies. Few people ever study those cryptic notes found on the margins of medieval texts. Any-one interested in this field should read a more basic text like Kelley's, 'Introduction to the Masorah of BHS.' Emmanuel Tov's 'Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible' Is also a helpful prelude to Yeivin. If your curiosity is only increased by those books, Yeivin is the next logical step. The Massoretes also intruduced the accent marks which have complex grammar of their own. Yeivin is the only modern scholarly work that explains them in detail. If you fully understand Yeivin and are still interested - congratulations, you are now one of the few Massoretic scholars in the world."--Amazon.com.
