The Forms of Hebrew Poetry: Considered with Special Reference to the Criticism and Interpretation of the Old Testament

by George Buchanan Gray

Book Overview

Gray refined the classifications offered up by Lowth in his 'Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews'. Gray developed ingenious readings of texts which had been previously been seen as corrupt and readable only with major emendations. Gray deduced principles of Semitic poetry which allowed these texts to be sensibly read without emendation.
