For beginner students of the Masorah it is often a barrier when researching, to find that many indepth writings on the Masorah are written in languages other than English. In my early years of masoretic studies, in those days not fully fluent in Hebrew, I ploughed through, at snail's pace, Israel Yeivin's original writing. Firstly, with this in mind, all accolades for the publication of the Introduction to the Tiberian Masorah, [translated into English], must go to the translator and editor himself, E. J. Revell. Secondly, after reading this book in the original Hebrew, and now in the translated English, I can attest that, in my opinion, it is an accurate translation. Therefore, I have no hesitation in saying: "read and enjoy - learn and be enlightened - Israel Yeivin is a master of the Tiberian Masorah".
