Masorah and the Interpretation of the Biblical Text

Programme

The Masorah is an indispensable tool for correct interpretation of the biblical text. It constitutes a historical record that accompanies the actual Hebrew text and is designed to preserve it and transmit it correctly. However, the Masorah is almost unknown for the non specialists. Therefore, its implication and benefits for the study of the Bible in a broad sense (e.g., exegesis, delimitation cricism, textual history, grammar, etc.) are still undervalued.

This workshop aims to open the field of the Masoretic Studies to the other fields of study related to the Biblical text.
