Lexicographical Arrangement of Masoretic Material1

José Martínez Delgado

Universidad De Granada

This study includes an edition, translation and analysis of three lists transmitted by the manuscript Firkovich I 4557 (ff. 4–9). The scribes attached this treatise to Hayyuj's Kitab al-Tanqit/Treatise on Vocalization and they also attributed it to him; but its contents confirm that this material predates Hayyuj. The tripartite division of this treatise shows that in the mind of the compiler the lexicographic criterion predominates and the analysis shows that the arrangement of these lists has a strong lexicographic nuance.

1This study has been developed within the frame the research project HUM2006-02495/FILO (Lengua y Literatura del Judaísmo Clásico: Rabínico y Medieval). A shorter version was submitted to the program of the 20th Congress of the International Organization for Masoretic Studies (IOMS) held in association with IOSOT XIXth Congress 2007 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, taking place from 15 to 20 July, 2007.
