Lingua sacra [electronic resource] : in three parts. Part I. Contains a complete Hebrew grammar, with points, clearly explained in English, and digested in so easy a Manner, that any Person capable of understanding the English Grammar may, without the Assistance of a Master, arrive at a competent Knowledge of the Hebrew Language; the hebrew grammar being more conformable to the English, than the Latin or Greek. The whole enriched with Notes; in which are shewn the Grammatical Errors and Inaccuracies of the most distinguished Grammarians, and other Writers in the Hebrew Language. Part II. A complete Hebrew-English dictionary; containing all the Words in the whole Four-And-Twenty Books of the Old Testament (being pure Hebrew); the Chaldce Words in Daniel and Ezra; the Targums of Onkelas, Jonathan, and Jerusalem; and such Words in the Talmud, and Writings of the most eminent Rabbins, as serve to illustrate Scripture; or treat of Philosophy, Arts, or Science; whether derived from the Chaldee, Persic, Arabic, or Greek. The Hebrew and Chaldee to be arranged under their genuine Roots, and the specific Signification of the Derivatives from thence illustrated. The Talmudical and Rabbinical to be arranged alphabetically, according to the three first Letters of the Word, except such as are derived from some Hebrew Word, which will be placed under the proper Hebrew Root. The whole most copiously explained, and exemplified by Passages cited at Length from Scripture, and the most correct Rabbinical Writers; by which, the more difficult Words and Passages in the Sacred Writings will be explained, according to their true Meaning, and the lively Oracles of god rescued from the Errors of real or disguised Friends, and the Attacks of open and professed Enemies, whether Deists or Atheists. Part III. To contain all words, both appellative and proper, Terms of Art, and Phrases used in the English tongue, arranged in alphabetical Order, and explained in Hebrew. By David Levi, author of The ceremonies of the jews, &c. Vol. I.
