Reviews
'Murtonen's Hebrew in its West Semitic Setting will be appreciated as reference work. Nowhere else there is so much data about non-Tiberian Hebrew tradition available, together with evidence from non-Biblical sources. Both the author and those who helped him in preparing the printout and in other tasks, as well as the institutions which supported this work financially, in his native Finland, in Australia, where he performed his research, and in other countries, deserve the gratitude of those who will use the results for their own research as a thesaurus of data and stimulus for the further development of Hebrew and related studies.'
