Overview

Excerpt from The d104 of the Old Testament The three lectures printed here and which were delivered in December, 1915, are a further development of the following ideas' which I put forward in my book Archaeology of the Old Testament. The books of the Old Testament are not in their original form. The earliest of them were written in Babylonian cuneiform, the later ones in Aramaic. Their present form was given them when the rabbis turned the books into the vernacular of Jerusalem, to which a new script, the square Hebrew, derived from Aramaic, was adapted. The Judaic dialect, written with that alphabet, is what we call Hebrew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
