Abstract

This index presents a list of transliterated words and phrases that occur in the book Ancient Hebrew Periodization and the Language of the Book of Jeremiah. The words and phrases are arranged according to Latin alphabetical order. In the book, Aaron Hornkohl defends the diachronic approach to Biblical Hebrew and the linguistic dating of biblical texts. Applying the standard methodologies to the Masoretic version of the biblical book of Jeremiah, he seeks to date the work on the basis of its linguistic profile, determining that, though composite, Jeremiah is likely a product of the transitional time between the First and Second Temple Periods. Hornkohl also contributes to unraveling Jeremiah's complicated literary development, arguing on the basis of language that its 'short edition', as reflected in the book's Old Greek translation, predates that 'supplementary material' preserved in the Masoretic edition but unparalleled in the Greek.Keywords: Book of Jeremiah; Greek; Hebrew; Masoretic edition
