Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible

This, the first compendium of musical instruments and instrumental terminology in the Bible, is both a reference book and a piece of serious scholarly research based on historical facts, comparative linguistic analysis, and musical study. It is intended for specialists in different spheres of the humanities: musicologists, theologians, historians, philologists, Bible translators, and general readers interested in the subject. In investigating the musical instruments in the Bible, many sources are drawn on, including major translations of the Bible ancient and modern, the works of rabbinic teachers, Church Fathers and medieval, Renaissance and contemporary scholars.
