Studies in the Masoretic Tradition of the Hebrew Bible

Aaron D. Hornkohl (PhD, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2012) is the author of Linguistic Periodization and the Language of Jeremiah (Brill, 2013), a translated adaptation of his doctoral dissertation, and co-editor (with Geoffrey Khan) of Studies in Semitic Vocalisation (University of Cambridge and Open Book Publishers, 2020). He teaches Hebrew in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge. His recent research focuses on the historical depth of the Tiberian reading tradition as manifested in dissonance between its written and recitation components, but he also deals with other ancient Hebrew traditions, such as Qumran Hebrew and Samaritan Hebrew, diachrony and linguistic periodisation, the Biblical Hebrew verbal system, and pragmatics.

Geoffrey Khan (PhD, School of Oriental and African Studies, London, 1984) is Regius Professor of Hebrew at the University of Cambridge. His research publications focus on three main fields: Biblical Hebrew language (especially medieval traditions), Neo-Aramaic dialectology, and medieval Arabic documents. He is the general editor of The Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics and is the senior editor of Journal of Semitic Studies. His most recent book in the field of Hebrew is the two-volume The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew (University of Cambridge and Open Book Publishers, 2020).
