Excerpt from A Treatise on the Accentuation of the Twenty-One So-Called Prose Books of the Old Testament: With a Facsimile of a Page of the Codex Assigned to Ben-Asher in Aleppo The present Treatise aims at explaining the accentuation of the so-called Prose Books - twenty-one in number, according to Jewish reckoning - of the Hebrew Bible. I have been asked why, contrary to the usual practice, I began with the accentuation of the three Books. My answer is that the subject seemed to me to stand in special need of careful examination. There was besides this advantage in taking the three Books first, that owing to their comparatively small compass, it was more easy to examine them exhaustively and so to arrive at the general principles underlying their accentuation. Those principles once established had then only to be applied, with the necessary modifications, to the twenty-one Books. I have endeavoured to carry out with thoroughness the task I had undertaken, and have not intentionally allowed difficulties in the accentuation to pass unnoticed. My plan has been, either, by a process of induction, to bring such instances under a general rule; or to furnish a special explanation of them, partly in the course of the Work, and more particularly in the Notes collected in Appendix I.
