This book is the only comprehensive diachronic study of Biblical Hebrew
written since the *Bauer and Leander* of the early 1920s. The author is
one of the best Hebraists of the 20th century. Though this book is not
without its weaknesses (see
http://www.houseofdavid.ca/anc_heb_Blau_rev.htm ), the full range of
material covered in it is absolutely fundamental knowledge for anyone who
wishes to make knowledgeable comments on Biblical Hebrew historical
linguistics. If I may say so, it is not a book to be "perused" but to be
ingested and assimilated into one's fundamental knowledge and
understanding. It is easily available to everyone either through purchase
of through inter-library loan from your local library.
