Abstract:
Epigraphy deals with ancient inscriptions and manuscripts revealed by archaeology; it is an auxiliary study to that of history. It studies the texts, languages and scripts from diachronic and synchronic points of view, and thus yields additional data on the cultural background of the people who produced the written sources. This book contains a selection of articles by the author on West-Semitic scripts and inscriptions published during almost forty years.
Notes:
Contents: West semitic scripts-types -- Transmission of the alphabet to Greece -- Aramaic inscriptions -- Phoenician, Hebrew, Trnsjordanian and Philistine inscriptions -- Some general phenomena -- Dubiosa.
