About the author

His best known works are on the research of the Hebrew language and the history of the human race entitled The Hebraic Tongue Restored: And the True Meaning of the Hebrew Words Re-Established and Proved by their Radical Analysis, and Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin of the Social State of Man and of the Destiny of the Adamic Race. Other works of renown are on the sacred art of music entitled Music Explained as Science and as Art and Considered in its Analog Relationship with Religious Mysteries, Ancient Mythology and the History of the Earth, and a translation and commentary of Pythagoras's thirty-six Golden Verses.

Manuale imprescindibile per lo studio della lingua ebraica arcaica. La competenza filologico-glottologica del d'Olivet risalta a tutto tondo in quest'opera. Oltre alla parte grammaticale e al vocabolario, molto interessante la traduzione e la traslitterazione della "Cosmogonia di Mosè". Una pietra miliare filologica nonché una solida base di partenza per lo studio dell'esoterismo di matrice ebraica.

Sui contenuti nulla da dire, ottimi spunti. Purtroppo non sapevo dello stile di impaginazione adottato (retrò, poco curato e poco leggibile). La difficoltà a leggere porta via davvero tanto, troppo, alla lettura.

[Comptes Rendus de René Guénon]

"Ajoutons qu’il y a des langues qui combinent les deux systèmes idéographique et alphabétique ; tel est l’hébreu biblique, ainsi que l’a montré Fabre d’Olivet dans La Langue hébraïque restituée, et nous pouvons remarquer en passant que ceci suffit pour faire comprendre que le texte de la Bible, dans sa signification véritable, n’a rien de commun avec les interprétations ridicules qui en ont été données, depuis les commentaires des théologiens tant protestants que catholiques, commentaires basés d’ailleurs sur des versions entièrement erronées, jusqu’aux critiques des exégètes modernes, qui en sont encore à se demander comment il se fait que, dans la Genèse, il y a des passages où Dieu est appelé אלהים et d’autres où il est appelé יהוה, sans s’apercevoir que ces deux termes, dont le premier est d’ailleurs un pluriel, ont un sens tout différent, et qu’en réalité ni l’un ni l’autre n’a jamais désigné Dieu."
(1910, À propos d’une mission dans l’Asie centrale)
