See also:GINSBURG, See also:CHRISTIAN See also:DAVID (1831– ) , See also:Hebrew See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Warsaw on the 25th of See also:December 1831. Coming to See also:England shortly after the completion of his See also:education in the Rabbinic See also:College at Warsaw, Dr Ginsburg continued his study of the Hebrew Scriptures, with See also:special See also:attention to the Megilloth. The first result of these studies was a See also:translation of the See also:Song of Songs, with a commentary See also:historical and See also:critical, published in 18J7. A similar translation of See also:Ecclesiastes, followed by See also:treatises on the Karaites, on the See also:Essenes and on the Kabbala, kept the author prominently before biblical students while he was preparing the first sections of his magnum See also:opus, the critical study of the Massorah. Beginning in 1867 with the publication of See also:Jacob See also:ben Chajim's Introduction to the Rabbinic See also:Bible, Hebrew and See also:English, with notices, and the Massoreth Ha-Massoreth of See also:Elias Levita, in Hebrew, with translation and commentary, Dr Ginsburg took See also:rank as an eminent Hebrew scholar. In 1870 he was appointed one of the first members of the See also:committee for the revision of the English version of the Old Testament. His See also:life-See also:work culminated in the publication of the Massorah, in three volumes See also:folio (188o-1886), followed by the Masoretico-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible (1894), and the elaborate introduction to it (1897). Dr Ginsburg had one predecessor in the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field, the learned Jacob ben Chajim, who in 1524–1525 published the second Rabbinic Bible, containing what has ever since been known as the Massorah; but neither were the materials available nor was See also:criticism sufficiently advanced for a See also:complete edition. Dr Ginsburg took up the subject almost where it was See also:left by those See also:early pioneers, and collected portions of the Massorah from the countless See also:MSS. scattered throughout See also:Europe and the See also:East. More recently Dr Ginsburg has published Facsimiles of See also:Manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible (1897 and 1898), and The See also:Text of the Hebrew Bible in Abbreviations (1903), in addition to a critical See also:treatise " on the relationship of the so-called Codex Babylonicus of A.D. 916 to the Eastern Recension of the Hebrew Text " (1899, for private circulation). In the last-mentioned work he seeks to prove that the St See also:Petersburg Codex, for so many years accepted as the genuine text of the Babylonian school, is in reality a Palestinian text carefully altered so as to render it conformable to the Babylonian recension. He subsequently undertook the preparation of a new edition of the Hebrew Bible for the See also:British and See also:Foreign Bible Society. He also contributed many articles to J.
