The Masorah of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia provides an introduction and glossary to the Masorah of BHS. Although the volume could be used by any student of the Hebrew Bible, it is specifically designed to be helpful for students who are just learning Hebrew. Thus, it can serve as an important parallel text for second semester or second year Hebrew courses. The introductory chapters give an overview of the field of Masoretic studies and explain the mechanics of using the Masorah of BHS.

The annotated glossary provides students with definitions and explanations for most of the terms used in BHS, including examples.
