  • Summary

    Chapter One lays a foundation for understanding the masoretic accentuation system. There are three masoretic traditions: Babylonian, Palestinian, and Tiberian. Each tradition has different graphemes for the vowel and accent signs. The Babylonian and Palestinian traditions were eventually supplanted by the Tiberian system, considered the best tradition because its system of vocalization and accentuation is the most comprehensive and sophisticated of the three. A brief overview of the masoretic traditions and two kinds of Hebrew accents, disjunctive and conjunctive accents, in the Twenty-One Books are introduced. The twenty-eight Hebrew accents’ names and their accentual positions are also introduced.
