Text fine and crisp throughout. Overall a very good copy. First edition of this compendium (one of two issues, the other published by Johann Coster), in which nine celebrated early modern Christian hebraists advance their views on the original pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton [YHWH]. The celebrated hebraist and Old Testament scholar Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), judged by Bayle to be one of the most learned writers of the eighteenth century, is best remembered for his works on Jewish antiquities. He edited various other collections of essays and dissertations, including Analecta Rabbinica (1702); Dissertationes miscellaneae (1706-1708); Dissertationes de nummis veterum Hebraeorum (1709). His opinion on the proper pronunciation of [YHWY] agrees with the first five hebraists in the present collection, as well as the current scholarly consensus. I.- Johannes Drusius (the elder, 1550-1615) Tetragrammaton, sive de nomine Dei proprio. II. - Sixtinus Amama (1593-1629) De nomine tetragrammato. [with a response to Fuller]. III. - Louis Cappel (1585-1658) Oratio de SS. Dei nomine tetragammato [YHWH] ac genuina ejus pronunciatione, -- see Burnett, Buxtorf, 229: ?Shortly after his appointment ot Saumur in 1613 he began his studies in biblical philology and textual criticism. His lecture on the Tetragrammaton, delivered on June 22, 1614, attests to a preoccupation with methodology which would distinguish his later work.? This was later printed in the Arcanum punctationis (1624), and here in our volume. IV. - Johann Buxtorf (the elder, 1565-1629) Dissertatio de nomine [YHWH] -- see Burnett, Buxtorf, 124: ?For the Tetragrammaton alone Buxtorf devoted ten pages of discussion [in his 1615 Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum].? V. - Jacob Alting (1618-1679) Exercitatio grammatica, De punctis ac pronunciatione tetragrammati [YHWH]. VI. - Nicolus Fuller (1557-1626) Dissertatio de nomine [YHWH] -- see Orme and his note on Drusius? charge of plagiarism against. VII. - Thomas Gataker (1574-1654) De nomine tetragrammato dissertatio. (London, 1645) - Gataker later defended himself against Cappel in Thomae Gatakeri . Dissertationis de Tetragrammato suæ, a D. Ludovici Cappelli, in diatribæ de eodem suæ defensione nuperâ, adversus eandem objectis, Vindicatio (London, 1652).
