I have been working on ancient Hebrew poetry (see Biblical Hebrew Poetry and Word Play - Reconstructing the Original Oral, Aural and Visual Experience <http://www.houseofdavid.ca/anc_heb.htm> http://www.houseofdavid.ca/anc_heb.htm ) and came across Wolfgang Richter's enormous /Biblia Hebraica transcripta/ series. The only problem I have had in understanding his reconstruction of the biblical texts is due to some of the various signs he has used and his handling of gemination.

He wrote a series of books in German outlining his approach. However, at the beginning of his volume on Genesis he boiled it down into a few pages.

My German is non-existent so I asked two native German speakers to translate the key points. One was a journalist and the other and academic librarian. They both said that they could not really understand his terminology.

Does anyone know of an English guide to Richter's symbols and methods?
