4.0 out of 5 stars
Serves its purpose,
This review is from: A Simplified Guide to Bhs: Critical Apparatus, Masora, Accents, Unusual Letters & Other Markings (Paperback)
For those just beginning to work with the Hebrew Bible, this little guide can be very valuable. There is much in BHS that needs explaining, but is missing or difficult to comprehend in the front matter of BHS itself. The material in Scott's book is available in more substantial reference books on the Masorah ("The Masorah of BHS" by Kelley et al.) or textual criticism (see "Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible," by Emmanuel Tov), but these books are considerably larger and more expensive. The latter may be particularly difficult for beginners. As a quick and easy handbook for navigating BHS, Scott's book is very useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars
a good help for beginners,
By djdjdjdjdjdj9 "djdjdjdjdjdj9" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Simplified Guide to Bhs: Critical Apparatus, Masora, Accents, Unusual Letters & Other Markings (Paperback)
The "quick and dirty" of the stranger markings of BHS. For those not well-versed in Latin, German, or Aramaic, this little reference is quite handy. Scott does not bother with the history or evolution of the Tiberian Masorah or other markings, but rather simply gives what is necessary to successfully derive meaning from both the Masorah Magna and Masora Parva (but not the Masorah Finalis) as well as some of the accentation and other markings. The most useful feature of this reference work is its size - it's very small and slim, so much so that it may have a propensity to get lost frequently.

A useful tool,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Simplified Guide to Bhs: Critical Apparatus, Masora, Accents, Unusual Letters & Other Markings (Paperback)
If one is interested in decoding the minutia around the BHS text, then this book is an invaluable resource to have available.Upon careful reading, I found the explanation of the accents in this volume to be adequate, especially when applied directly to individual verses in the BHS.
