"""Judith Olszowy-Schlanger's book is of the greatest importance to the history of Hebrew learning in the Middle Ages. The Hebrew grammar that is its focus survives in a unique copy now at Longleat House, Wiltshire and can be traced to the Benedictine Abbey of Ramsey, East Anglia, in the thirteenth century. Learning Hebrew in Medieval England presents an edition of the text (together with an English translation of the essay on Hebrew accents and vowels), a full description of the manuscript, and an extended historical introduction. The author enjoys a worldwide reputation as a formidable scholar, well-versed in the languages used in the grammar (classical and medieval Hebrew, Latin, Anglo-Norman French) and in firm command of the skills (codicology, paleography, and diplomatics) required to interpret the manuscript's complexities. The result is a magnificent achievement that makes a remarkable work accessible to a wider scholarly audience."" -- Aharon Maman, Hebrew University of Jerusalem"
