Tiberias sive Commentarius Masoreticus
Intended as the supplement to his famous Biblia Rabbinica, this scholarly commentary by renowned Christian Hebraist Johannes Buxtorf , discusses the history and evolution of the Masorah (codified vowels and vocalization of the Hebrew text).
The book was controversial in that it contravened the theory of the later emergence of the Masorah as espoused by the earlier Hebrew scholar Elia Levita (1469-1549).
Buxtorf's work was enlarged and expanded upon by his son Johannes Buxtorf the Younger, in this edition printed in 1665.

Johannes Buxtorf (Latin: Johannes Buxtorfius) (1564 – 1629) was a celebrated Hebraist, member of a family of Orientalists; professor of Hebrew for thirty-nine years at Basel and was known by the title, "Master of the Rabbis".
His massive tome, De Synagoga Judaica (1st. ed. 1603), scrupulously documents the customs and society of German Jewry in the early modern period.
