The North-West Semitic epigraphic contributes considerably to   our  understanding of the Old Testament and of the Ugaritic texts and   to our  knowledge of the North-West Semitic languages as such.  This   dictionary in two volumes is concerned with the North-West Semitic    material found in inscriptions, papyri and ostraca in Phoenician,   Punic,  Hebrew, various forms of Aramaic, Ammonite, Edomite, the   language of Deir Alla  et cetera. The material covers the period from   ca. 1000 B.C. to ca. 300 A.D.  Besides translations the entries include   discussions and full references to  scholarly literature.  The book is   a translated, updated and considerably augmented edition of Jean  &   Hoftijzer, Dictionnaire des inscriptions semitiques de l'ouest. The    additions concern newly found texts as well as references to new   scholarly  literature.  The book is an indispensable tool for research   in North-West Semitic  epigraphy, on the Old Testament and on Ugaritic   texts, and for Semitic  linguistics.
