Hebrew Script, Epigraphy, Paleography & Dictionaries for Readers of English

All these disciplines play their role in the study of the Bible and of history in general. Ancient inscriptions and documents tell us much about the ancient peoples of the region and provide important clues to the past. The main key to an inscription is its language which must be studied for historical interpretation. Hebrew is the language of the Bible and its revival in the nineteenth century has played an important role in the modern history of the Jewish people. Hebrew script has developed on a parallel scale, from the classic font developed by Frank and Rühl to modern important and basic fonts created by noted typographers such as Moshe Spitzer, Bezalel Narkiss, Ada Yardeni and others.
