"This open-access book brings together more than thirty essays on languages and the ways they develop, interact, and influence one another. Its main focus is the Middle East, where Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic long existed side by side and often overlapped in everyday use, scholarship, and culture. In line with Geoffrey (Khan)'s commitment to the maximally accessible dissemination of research, this Festschrift has been published in both open-access digital editions and affordable printed formats."
"Due to the number of contributions, their length, and the variety in their subject matter, they are divided into two volumes, with each volume further subdivided into two sections. The volumes and sections are topical and broadly chronological. Volume 1, section A, is dedicated to contributions on Hebrew, ranging from biblical to modern. Volume 1, section B, contains articles on comparative Semitic philology and linguistics and on the Semitic languages more broadly."
More than thirty essays examine Semitic languages and their development, interaction, and mutual influence, with emphasis on Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic in the Middle East. Contributions are organized into two volumes, each subdivided into topical and broadly chronological sections. Volume 1 covers Hebrew (biblical to modern) and comparative Semitic philology and linguistics. Volume 2 addresses medieval and late pre-modern periods, including Cairo Geniza materials, grammatical traditions, and Judaeo-Arabic, with a section devoted to Neo-Aramaic studies. The intended readership includes language specialists and historians of medieval Jewish society, with many technically demanding articles.
