Andrew G. Vaughn in his review of the English translation of the revised
Koehler/Baumgartner dictionary available at
http://www.bookreviews.org/Reviews/9004100768.html compares the Sheffield
"Dictionary of Classical Hebrew" rather unfavourably to the work he is
reviewing. This he obviously has a perfect right to do, but then he goes on
to tell his readers that "the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew was suspended
without completion at 4 volumes" - a rather surprising statement for
somebody who has already been working with the 5th volume (mem-nun) which
arrived at the library of the Department of Biblical Studies here in
Copenhagen recently.
