About This Item
Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2001. Dense study of the scholars involved in Ugaritic Studies since the discovery of ancient clay tablets at Ugarit in 1929; its similarity to ancient Hebrew has helped scholars with interpretation (both linguistically & culturally) of the earliest Biblical texts. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. INSCRIBED by the author on the title page: "For Michael, with great appreciation for your scholarship. Warm regards, Mark". Light wear to book; jacket shows minor creasing, several academic distributor's stickers on rear panel, not covering anything vital. Text clean; xix, blank, 252 pages; index of modern authors, notes, b/w photos. . Inscribed by the Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Octavo.
