Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First edition. Quarto (12" x 8-1/2"). vi, 286, (4)pp. Text in either English or Italian, with some notes in Hebrew and Greek. Red buckram lettered in white. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Frendo, plus numerous drawings & photos, a map, chronological chart and an archaeological ground plan. Edges a bit rubbed. This is an ex-library copy but with limited markings (i.e., rubber stamp on title and at bottom of text block). This volume is dedicated to Anthony J. Frendo, professor of Near Eastern Archaeology and Hebrew Bible at the University of Malta, and it contains papers presented by his colleagues, students, and friends. Frendo has dedicated the largest part of his academic career - in print as well as in class - to exploring the relationship between text and artifact. Appropriately, therefore, many of the collected essays operate at this interface between disciplines while focusing on a diverse array of material, such as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Punic epigraphy, Phoenician/Punic textual and material culture, ancient Near Eastern archaeology, biblical texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as elements from Maltese archaeology, including a cuneiform inscription found at a local sanctuary at Tas-Silg.
