very helpful for study of Hebrew in Torah
Very useful tool for looking up the meaning of each word in the Torah.
Much easier to use than a dictionary.
But be prepared with reading glasses nearby as print is small to squeeze everything in.

A much needed tool.
If you are studying a Hebrew passage using BDB then you need this book.This book makes it a lot easier and faster to locate a particular word in BDB.

The print is on the small side, but if you are using BDB, you are dealing with that already.

Some use this book without BDB, because they are attempting to make a rough translation.This will work well, but there are times when the English equivalent given is more appropriate the Hebrew word in general rather than the particular usage.

While there are some mistakes in this book, this is not much of a problem when you consider the scope of this book.

A big help
Brown Driver & Briggs (BDB) contains a lot of information, but its arrangement can cause a person to tear one's hair out in clumps, especially for those of us who do not use our Hebrew every day.Einspahr helps you find the listing and discussion on a particular vocable quickly and easily.Unfortunately, this volume list only words used ten times or more.I found myself making notes for words used less often.There are errors in the volume and I also found myself writing to the publisher to make them aware of the mistakes I found.On balance, this volume makes Hebrew less frustrating.I wish it had been available when I took my first year Hebrew course.

Excellent
Ancient Hebrew is not an easy language to master, and so it is often useful to have a BDB Hebrew Lexicon at hand. But that too can be difficult to use (especially if you are relatively new to Hebrew). This Index is the link between the text you are working on, and the detailed knowledge "hidden" in the Lexicon. The trouble is, the Index is so helpful I feel almost guilty using it. (Hebrew shouldn't be easy!) Just one provision, if you are over 45 you will probably want to go out and buy a magnifying glass, the print is extremely small, and can be difficult to see. ... Read more

Caveat Emptor- No Genitive Endings
As the others have said, the book does not give genitive/gender endings. I don't see how one can learn a word without knowing its declension/gender. Every time you learn a word you will have to look it up in a dictionary to find the gender and declension. Other typos and errors can be found as well. Caveat Emptor!

A Good List
This book provides a list of the most common two thousand words in Classical Latin. As such, it is a most welcome addition to the corpus of Latin learning materials. I am presently making a set of flashcards using Dr Toner's list. I have found that the book's format could be improved. For example, the entry for 'pax' reads:

paxf.peace

The following format might be more useful to the learner:

pax
pax, pacis (3f.) peace

A long-needed and excellent resource
This is an excellent book. Long troubled in how to expand my Latin vocabulary, and exposed to frequency based lists in Biblical Greek and Hebrew, I was delighted to find this volume. It goes a long way to aiding the Latin student in expanding their vocabulary.

There are a few problems with this book. A few of the glosses are just a little too basic, particularly on words with several distinct meanings. There are also a number of typographical errors in the book, and genitive endings are not given for words.

Overall though, an excellent book. ... Read more

Product Description
During the past 10 years, the situation of women writers in Latin America has dramatically changed as has the interest the reading public has shown in their work. In the United States, the rise of women's studies programs has fostered a heightened awareness of literature written by women. Publishers have noted the growing significance of Latin American women writers and have responded by increasing the availability of the work of these women. Thus many anthologies now include English translations of Latin American short fiction written by women. This reference book provides a full listing of these anthologies and the works contained in them. ... Read more
