Leather Binding, Scarce

Complete with the five books of the Torah. As well as the Books of Truth, Wisdom Books, and Poetry Books. Unfortunately the eight books of Nevi'im, and the Historical Books are absent. Five volumes of the original ten covering Genesis, Exodus, and Book of Leviticus to volume one. Volume two containing Numbers, Deuteronomy, Jose, Judges and Ruth. Volume three containing the four Books of Kings. Volume four contains the Two Books of Parlipomenes, Esdras, Nehemias, Tobias, Judith, Esther, and Job. With lastly volume five containing the Psalms of David, the Proverbs of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs. According to the Talmud, much of the contents of the Tanakh were compiled by the "Men of the Great Assembly" by 450 BCE, and have since remained unchanged. Modern scholars believe that the process of canonisation of the Tanakh became finalised between 200 BCE and 200 CE.The Hebrew text was originally an abjad: consonants written with some applied vowel letters ("matres lectionis"). During the early Middle Ages scholars known as the Masoretes created a single formalised system of vocalisation. This was chiefly done by Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, in the Tiberias school, based on the oral tradition for reading the Tanakh, hence the name Tiberian vocalisation. It also included some of Ben Naftali and Babylonian innovations.Despite the comparatively late process of codification, some traditional sources and some Orthodox Jews believe the pronunciation and cantillation derive from the revelation at Sinai, since it is impossible to read the original text without pronunciations and cantillation pauses.The combination of a text (???? miqra), pronunciation (????? niqqud) and cantillation (????? te`amim) enable the reader to understand both the simple meaning, as well as the nuances in sentence flow of the text. With advertisements between each book. Five volumes of the original ten.
