One of the barriers involved in teaching students of Biblical 
Hebrew about the Masorah is the lack of introductory literature on the 
subject. Although a lot of information about the Masorah is available in
 print, most of it is in technical professional journals or encyclopedia
 articles. Scattered about in disparate sources, often not in English, 
this literature is easier to ignore than it is to incorporate into 
introductory Hebrew classes. As a result, most students of Biblical 
Hebrew complete their studies without any background on the Masorah. 
 This volume fills this gap by providing an introduction and glossary to
 the Masorah of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Although the volume 
could be used by any student of the Hebrew Bible, it is specifically 
designed to be helpful for students who are just learning Hebrew. Thus 
it can serve as an important parallel text for second semester or second
 year Hebrew courses. The introductory chapters give an overview
 of the field of Masoretic studies and explain the mechanics of using 
the Masorah of BHS. The annotated glossary provides students with 
definitions and explanations for most of the terms used in BHS, 
including examples.
