5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introductory Work, July 1 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Early History of the Alphabet (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for those wanting a good introduction to epigraphy and palaeography in ancient Semitic languages, especially Northwest Semitic languages (eg, Aramaic, Phoenician, Hebrew). It contains a wealth of information gleaned from a vast array of inscriptions and ancient texts, all compiled into a simple format. A most enjoyable and informative book!
