IBN EZRA, ABRAHAM.
Sepher Tzachuth [grammar].
Edited by Gavriel Hirsch Lippmann.
ff. (6), 74, (4). 8vo. Vinograd, Fürth 827.
Fürth: Itzig Zirendorf 1827
Ibn Ezra’s contribution to Hebrew philology lies in the fact that his were the first systematic grammatical works written in Hebrew, thus making the field accessible to the Jews of Western Europe. Sepher Tzachuth (“Purity” of the Hebrew language) deals with the entire field of Hebrew grammar and contains several chapters on prosody and the theory of Hebrew meter. R. Gavriel Naftali Hirsch Lipman (1805-64) was a disciple of R. Wolf Hamburg (1770-1850) and served the rabbinate in Aurich and Kissingen. Much of his studies were focused upon the writings of Abraham ibn Ezra.
