Hebrew Grammar

TO THE READER.

...example I have followed, and I have collected a volume of Hebrew institutions to the best of my ability. I have been helped greatly here (which I honestly confess) by the writings of others, especially those of the Rabbis David and Mosche, whom I just mentioned, and a certain unnamed grammarian whose Dikduc grammar begins thus: Sha'ar HaMinhag The Gate of Custom, which, however, some attribute to Rabbi David Kimhi. Furthermore, there was another Hebrew grammar at hand, which they call the Table of Conjugations, the beginning of which is Ve-Attah Atchil And now I begin. Its author is unknown. Nor have more recent scholars been lacking, namely Johannes Reuchlin, the first propagator of the sacred Hebrew language among the Latins, and Chuonradus Pellicanus, my most faithful teacher in Hebrew letters; and the excellent father Caspar Ammonius, whose Shulchan HaPanim Table of the Presence, a vast work of grammar, was also [prepared] for me in the Frobenian workshop.
