Johannis Buxtorfii Tiberias, sive, Commentarius Masorethicus
Subtitle: quo primùm explicatur, quid Masora sit: tum historia Masoretharum ex Hebræorum annalibus excutitur, num scilicet Masora à Tiberiensibus Hebræis post Talmud Judaicum conscripta sit: deinceps quid Masora in universum pertractet, quæ sit ejus methodus, & quem in finem inventa, amplè simul commemoratur. Secundò Clavis Masoræ traditur, quæ voces singulas & conjunctas, communes ac proprias, ac Masorethis peculiares indeq́; obscuriores, perspicuè explicat, aditumq́[ue]; à primis ad intima & magis abstrusa Masoræ penitùs cognoscenda, facilimum & planissimum reserat. Denique ne quid studii vel officii desideretur, analytica Masoræ explicatio in primum caput Geneseos proponitur, quæ ceu viva manuductio & in rempræsentem intromissio est.
