Errors which are readily attributed to printer’s lapses have been
corrected, as noted below. There are a number of lapses in the
punctuation of quoted matter, which have been rectified as described in
the table below. Spelling has been retained, except where the printer
seems most likely to be at fault.
Greek words are sometimes given without diacritical marks including in
quoted passages, or the marks are incorrect, based upon what we now have
for the Greek sources. The Greek is given here as printed.
The Greek ‘ou’ ligature is represented here using the Latin version ‘ȣ’.
Likewise, the typesetting of Hebrew is problematic in many places,
particularly with the use of cantillation marks (tropes). In most
cases, cantillation for single words or phrases are moot, but the
author frequently includes them, not always accurately. Where modern
fonts are unable to represent the printed characters, or where the
typesetting was faulty, the text will follow the currently accepted
forms. Vowel marks are sometimes omitted in the original, and are
given here as printed. <span class='htmlonly'>The combination
hataf-patah is frequently reversed, and has been corrected everywhere
with no further notice. Likewise, the printer seems to have frequently
confused the trope merkha with the vowel point meteg, i.e. יְשָׁ֥רְתוּ
for יְשָֽׁרְתוּ. The standard Hebrew has been followed here, as noted
below.</span> <span class='epubonly'>In this version, bidirectional
text cannot be reliably rendered. The author provided a
transliteration of most of the Hebrew words and phrases; however a
separate transliteration has been included here based on the scheme
provided by the Society of Biblical Literature. These appear in bold
as =yĕšārĕtû=. These transliterations necessarily lose the
cantillation marks. (The same has been done for the Arabic and Syriac
words, which are also printed right-to-left.)</span>
On p. 461, the Hebrew word בּוּת requires the vav as printed be a shuruk
(וּ) to be read as a vowel 'û'. The character was printed without the
dot, and is corrected here.
Arabic, Coptic, and Syriac scripts are rendered using the available
Unicode characters. The script used by the author frequently could not
be confirmed to match either the stated translations or the
transliterations he provided. The Syriac script seems to be the
so-called Western script. The Unicode characters follow the Estrangela,
which was most widely used. Many of the Arabic words were either
unrecognizable, did not match the transliterations given by the author,
or both. Best guesses of the author’s intent are provided in the text.
On p. 390, the Arabic word which appears to be متصُعَادࣨ <il
arabic_metsuad_390.jpg/>, seems incorrect. The most likely word is
مِصعادٌ, which has the meaning given by the author. This has been
substituted.
On p. 592, the maqqef (־) in בַּתבְּלִיָּ־עַל is misplaced. The word,
from 1. _Samuel_ i. 16, should be בַּת־בְּלִיַּעַל, and has been corrected.
On p. 620, the Arabic غظنٌ does not exist; the
author may have intended either عَدْنٌ which means Eden or غَدَن, which
means languor, softness, limpness. etc. The former was used here.
Problematic cases with the original images and their replication here,
are given below:
On p. 95, the quoted phrase from Ephesians 6:5, ‘And ye masters, do the
_same things_ unto them;[’], is missing the closing single quotation
mark. The words which follow the semicolon seem to be a paraphrase. The
punctuation has been added.
On p. 141, the paragraph beginning ‘In _Judg._ iii. 7, 8, we have as
follows:’ has an unclosed double quotation. It is not clear where the
citation ends, and the text has been given here as printed.
On p. 486, the citation of Jeremiah li. 55 is misprinted as verse 15.
Immediately following, the first of two citations of Isaiah li. 13
should have been to verse 15. These have been corrected. The second
reference to verse 13 is correct.
In Lesson IV of Study VII (pp. 516–536), the punctuation of the extracts
is inconsistent, and, with just a few exceptions noted below, has been
retained as printed.
On p. 630, the Praet. 2 m. conjugation of עבד is printed as עְָבַדְתָּ,
which is an invalid combination of vowel marks on the leading ayin.
Either עָֽבַדְתָּ or עֳבַדְתָּ would be valid.
