Index of the Website

This website consists of a large number of notebooks, which are listed below. The index list is subdivided into two sections. The first section contains links to the notebooks providing the theoretical background one will need in order to understand our presentations of the Psalms in the notebooks listed in the second section. The "theoretical notebooks" briefly summarize the hypotheses and conclusions drawn in the dissertation "Verbal Forms in Biblical Hebrew Poetry: Poetical Freedom or Linguistic System?", to which this website forms a complement. For a more elaborate discussion of the research and our theoretical framework, the reader is strongly recommended to consult this dissertation.
