Paronomasia In The Old Testament (1894)

By Immanuel M. Casanowicz

Book Overview

Paronomasia In The Old Testament is a book written by Immanuel Moses Casanowicz in 1894. The book explores the use of paronomasia, which is a literary device that involves playing with words that sound similar but have different meanings, in the Old Testament. Casanowicz examines various examples of paronomasia in the Hebrew Bible, including puns, wordplays, and other forms of linguistic humor. He also discusses the cultural and historical context in which these literary devices were used, providing insights into the ways in which language was used to convey meaning and create humor in ancient Hebrew literature. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, linguistics, and literary criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
