About the Authors
  • The inscriptions dealt with in this book come from the Old Testament period (c. 1000 BC to c. 200 BCE) and constitute an important additional source for our knowledge of the Hebrew language and the religion, history and customs of ancient Israel. The corpus includes texts like the Lachish and Arad letters, the Siloam tunnel inscription, the recently discovered religious texts from Kuntillet Ajerud, and the hundreds of seals, seal-impressions and weights that are now known. Each text is given a unique reference number according to a specially devised system, with an indication of its date and place of origin (where these are known) and one or more bibliographical references. It covers all complete words in the texts (including prepositions and names of persons and places), and also the Egyptian hieratic numerals and other symbols that were used in them.

    • An alphabetical listing of all the known Hebrew inscriptions, together with a corpus of texts, will be indispensable to scholars of the Old Testament and of ancient Judaism
    • Comprehensively brings together material in this area - written by a Press author, an Old Testament scholar of international standing
    • An authoritative reference book which fills a gap in the market
