The Book of Leviticus from the Gözleve Bible : A Linguistic Analysis of a Crimean Karaim Bible Translation

Abstract

This volume offers a linguistic analysis of the Book of Leviticus from the so-called Gözleve Bible (1841), a printed Crimean Karaim Bible translation penned in Hebrew script. Crimean Karaim, and thus the language of this edition, displays mixed characteristics, sparking scholarly debate. Alongside the showcasing and discussion of such linguistic attributes, the study also provides a transcription, translation, and facsimile of the original text.
