lengthy list of apparel fashionable among Hebrew women of Isaiah's day—all of which will be taken away by the divine judgement. In this work Schroeder carefully elucidates these terms for apparel, using other Biblical texts and similar terms in other languages (including Syriac, Greek, and Arabic) to bring out their meaning, thus providing the reader a look into the daily life of ancient Hebrew women via their garb. Nicolaus Wilhelm Schroeder (1721–98), a native of Marburg, was professor of Greek and oriental languages at the University of Groningen. He was also an early pioneer in the formal discipline of comparative philology, following the example of Albert Schultens.
