Black cloth lettered in white & green. Small, barely noticeable stain near top of fore-edge block, text unaffected. Ugaritic, discovered in 1929, is a North-West Semitic language, documented on clay tablets (about 1250 texts) and dated from the period between the 14th and the 12th centuries B.C.E. The documents are of various types: literary, administrative, lexicological. Numerous Ugaritic tablets contain portions of a poetic cycle pertaining to the Ugaritic pantheon. Another part, the administrative documents shed light on the organization of Ugarit, thus contributing greatly to our understanding of the history and culture of the biblical and North-West Semitic world. This important reference work, a revised and translated edition of the author's Hebrew publication (Beer Sheva, 1993), deals with the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ugaritic. The book contains also an appendix with text selections. (Publisher) Contents: Orthography -- Phonology -- Pronouns -- The noun -- Numerals and numeric terms -- The verb -- Adverbial and adverbial suffixes -- Several syntactical points.
