The original German version of the epoch-making monograph by Robert Lachmann (published originally in 1942 in English without musical examples and photographs) on the musical culture of the venerable Jewish community from the Island of Djerba, off the southern coast of Tunisia. Reaching far beyond this specific case, which served Lachmann as a kind of pilot project, the book has become a model that scholars may find applicable to other issues in ethnomusicology.
Contains musical notation of biblical accents. Reprinted by Johann Boschenstein. See LoNot, No. 3 (musical items contained in this item).
An attempt to reconstruct the music to which the bible was sung (Pentateuch, Psalms...) according to the tropes (Te'amim) and their graphic shapes.
A comprehensive survey of the Masorah, its components and their development, its history, writers and transmitters, traditions, systems, and symbols.
