Adapted, by permission, from Israel Yeivin, Introduction to the Tiberian Masorah, translated and edited by E. J. Revell. Copyright © 1980 by the Society of Biblical Literature.

Note that this is a loose adaptation of the work of Yeivin and Revell: while some sections are faithfully rendered, I’ve taken great liberties with others. I’ve tried to relegate actual ideas of my own to footnotes, but I may not have observed that discipline fully.
