Israel Yeivin's Introduction to the Tiberian Masorah, translated and edited by E. J. Revell, is a standard scholarly reference on the medieval Masoretic scribal system that fixed the vocalization, cantillation and textual notes of the Hebrew Bible, written by one of the leading twentieth century specialists in Masoretic studies. Its authority rests on Yeivin's exhaustive command of the Tiberian manuscript tradition and its technical apparatus, and it remains a standard graduate-level reference in the field. As a technical linguistic and textual reference rather than a theological work, it treats the mechanics of how the Masoretic text was transmitted and marked rather than the text's own religious interpretation, and it is properly read alongside biblical and rabbinic scholarship for questions of meaning rather than transmission.
