Studies in the Masoretic Tradition of the Hebrew Bible
This volume brings together papers on topics relating to the transmission of the Hebrew Bible from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern period. We refer to this broadly in the title of the volume as the 'Masoretic Tradition'. The papers are innovative studies of a range of aspects of this Masoretic tradition at various periods, many of them presenting hitherto unstudied primary sources. They focus on traditions of vocalisation signs and accent signs, traditions of oral reading, traditions of Masoretic notes, as well as Rabbinic and exegetical texts. The contributors include established scholars of the field and early-career researchers.

Beginning Learner's Ukrainian Dictionary
The Beginning Learner's Ukrainian Dictionary is, as its name implies, designed for beginning learners of the Ukrainian language. Bonus: Access to audio tracks to download and stream from the publisher's website. The dictionary is meant to be more than a reference in which to look up unknown words. It is a study tool to expand your lexicon and build a solid base in both vocabulary and grammar. You are encouraged to read through entry after entry, study the structure of the example sentences, notice the inflections of nouns, adjectives, and verbs, and practice your listening skills and pronunciation while listening to the accompanying audio tracks. Three Indexes: English-Ukrainian Quick Lookup; Common Ukrainian Names; Grammar Terms The dictionary has been adapted from our book The Beginning Learner's Russian Dictionary, which is based on the official Lexical Minimum for the standardized test that includes 780 items that learners are expected to know at the A1 level. To these, the names of countries, common Ukrainian personal names, and grammatical terms have been added, bringing the total number of headwords in the dictionary to over 1,000. This dictionary offers many advantages for beginning learners over other Ukrainian-English dictionaries. It offers a reader-friendly, uncluttered layout. Only senses appropriate to the A1 level appear in the entries. Grammatical information is presented clearly in tables along with invaluable usage notes. Example sentences contain only A1-level vocabulary found in the dictionary. (Beginning learners may find other dictionaries overwhelming, as entries contain multiple senses, many of which are uncommon and make it difficult to determine which sense is intended. Such dictionaries present limited grammatical information, often in abbreviated form, under the assumption that the reader is proficient in Ukrainian grammar. Likewise, example sentences may contain too many higher-level vocabulary words to be of use to beginning learners.)

Waifs & Strays of Celtic Tradition
The five volumes of the Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition are an important collection of tales, stories and legends from Argyll that were first published between 1889 and 1895.The first volume was edited by Lord Archibald Campbell, the son of the 8th Duke of Argyll, who was also the first president of the Comunn Gaidhealach. In addition to the Craignish Tales and several other stories in both Gaelic and English it also includes Campbell's Notes on the War Dress of the Celts.This revised series has been professionally edited and the Gaelic corrected in accordance with modem orthography.
The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses
The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts, which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo practioners and African American root workers. The printed texts of The Sixth and Seven Books of Moses (from 1849) combine two purportedly lost short Biblical texts with several contemporary essays and half a dozen purported writings of those who kept this knowledge and practiced its use through history, dated from Biblical times to the 17th Century. These works attempt to paint a portrait of secret knowledge which Moses was given by God, and then handed down father to son until King Solomon, when it was handed to Priests, and finally, Talmudic scholars. In Christian circles, the text appealed to the same authority as did Biblical apocrypha: Biblical texts outside the current Biblical canon.Containing numerous allegedly magical spells used to summon spirits to do the will of the conjurer, the books are attributed to works in which Moses sets forth the magic which enabled him to defeat the magicians of Egypt, part the Red Sea, and perform the acts attributed to him in the Old Testament.[11] Although these are allegedly Kabbalistic in nature, there is very little or no influence of Kabbala within the pages. Most texts are reputed to be Hebrew, passed to the editors through European Talmudic scholars or Christian Medieval ecclesiastics who were privy to secret Biblical texts. Some of the texts are allegedly translated from a text written by Canaanite magicians and keepers of the Samaritan Pentateuch in the "Cuthan-Samaritan language", a language considered extinct since the 12th century.
The Verbal Aspect Integral to the Perfect and Pluperfect Tense-Forms in the Pauline Corpus
This book argues that the verbal aspect of the Greek Perfect is complex, involving not one but two aspects, where the perfective applies to events and the imperfective applies to states. These two aspects are connected to specific morphemes in the Perfect tense-form. This study analyses Perfect tense-forms in discursive text by focusing on the Pauline Corpus. The method is grounded in grammaticalisation studies and informed by morphology, comparative linguistics, and historical linguistics. The argument is further supported by a corpus-based study showing both the Greek Perfect tense-form use in letters over an 800-year period and adverb collocations of the Perfect tense-form. The adverb collocations establish when a Perfect is used for an event or for a state. This study challenges other verbal aspect studies that find only one verbal aspect to explain the Greek Perfect. This study situates the Pauline Perfect tense-form usage within a spectrum of other letter writers, and finds that within the Pauline Corpus the Perfects within supplemental clauses are more likely to use active lexemes than other letter writers. This study also finds that most of the Perfects used in letters are supplemental to the mainline and are often backgrounded rather than foregrounded.

Since 2016, since moving to Vietnam, as well as continuing to work at ESL/IELTS language schools, Tian has focused on teaching Biblical Hebrew via online methods - based upon the system of learning 'expressed' and illustrated in the five volumes of Biblical Hebrew for All.The five volumes cover the following: Volume 1: Basic Grammar & Strong VerbsVolume 2: Weak VerbsVolume 3: Doubly Weak VerbsVolume 4: Textual CriticismVolume 5: Lifting the Veil

Cursing in Russian with Lenin
Russian "mat" - a remarkably expressive, linguistically fascinating, and utterly hilarious system of obscenity that builds a wide variety of words from a handful of extremely vulgar roots - is never taught in the classroom, but is absolutely essential for anyone looking to master Russian in all of its fullness. Russians widely consider "mat" to be much more obscene than anything in English. Its words were long unprintable, and their use in public performances remains punishable by Russian law. Yet when Russians really want to make their feelings known, many will resort to "mat" - for it alone has the power to express everything from utter despair, to incandescent rage, to bottomless disdain, to uproarious defiance of a fallen world.This beginner's guide introduces the basics of "mat" in an in-depth yet manageable fashion, including detailed descriptions of word-building principles, the literal and figurative meanings of "mat" expressions, and extensive coverage of euphemism - explaining how Russians can use "mat" without really using it! The text presents a manageable list of all the basic "mat" vocabulary - nouns, verbs, adjectives, and phrases - that you'll actually hear, with simple examples of usage. English transliterations are provided alongside the original Russian Cyrillic (marked for stress!), making this book useful both for serious students of Russian and for inquirers who don't even know the alphabet. Along the way, we'll review certain key points of Russian declension, conjugation, and grammar in a refreshingly obscene context.For anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation of the "lower" registers of human experience and expression, "mat" is sure to become one of the real joys of learning the Russian language. Embark on this journey of discovery - with Lenin as your guide!About the Author...Originally from Franklin, Tennessee, Mark Pettus holds a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University. Altogether, he's spent around six years living, studying, and working in Russia. Today he is a lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton. Mark is the author of the Russian Through Propaganda textbook series (Books 1 and 2), and its continuation, Russian Through Poems and Paintings (Books 3 and 4).

Reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich in Russian
Written in simple and sometimes shockingly blunt prose, Tolstoy's timeless novella is a masterpiece of his later work, combining relentless psychological observation with moral and spiritual urgency in its depiction of the death of an ordinary man, a certain Ivan Ilyich - a court official, husband, and father. Ivan Ilych is perfectly ordinary in the sense that his lifelong pursuit of outward decency in his work and family life - even home decor! - has obscured from him all deeper questions of life's meaning - questions he must suddenly come to terms with as he confronts his own mortality. Alongside this existential struggle, Tolstoy - with both compassion and clinical objectivity - documents dying as a physical and psychological process, involving both loneliness and despair, unrelenting suffering, and unexpected glimmers of comfort, human contact, and hope. Ultimately, Tolstoy suggests that a life dominated by the conventions of the world as we know it is somehow deeply wrong - but that every life has the capacity for redemption, even at the very end.Designed to help students of Russian begin to enjoy real Russian literature in the original without constantly reaching for a dictionary, this parallel-text edition features a new translation made specifically for this purpose, as well as detailed Russian vocabulary notes, including all the important forms you need (especially aspectual pairs and conjugation types for all verbs). The original Russian text is marked for stress, but is otherwise unedited and unsimplified.About the Author...Originally from Franklin, Tennessee, Mark Pettus holds a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University.
