By: Bolla, Peter De, et al.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Journal of the History of Ideas Description: 81(3), Jul, 2020: 381-406. In: Journal of the History of IdeasSummary: This article presents a reassessment of the seventeenth-century debate over the origin of the Hebrew vowel points. Previous accounts have treated this debate from the perspective of Protestant scholarship, with the reception of Louis Cappel's Arcanum punctationis revelatum (1624) used to measure progress or reaction according to how far scholars accepted or rejected—the latter for theological reasons—the critical advance his work has been taken to represent. The article argues this mischaracterizes the issue, showing why the question only became especially pressing in the mid-1640s in the context of broader developments in Catholic and Protestant biblical criticism.- Reproduced
