The Northwest Semitic epigrapha enriches our understanding of the Old Testament and of the Ugaritic texts, as well as our knowledge of Semitic languages. This dictionary covers the period from 1000 BC to AD 300. Besides translations, the entries discuss scholarly literature and include full references. The book is a translated, updated, and considerably augmented edition of Jean & Hoftijzer’s Dictionnaire des inscriptions sémitiques de l'ouest. The additions concern newly found texts as well as references to new scholarly literature. This is an indispensable tool for research in Northwest Semitic epigraphy, on the Old Testament and on Ugaritic texts, and for Semitic linguistics.
