Ugaritic-Hebrew Philology

The present work is a series of observations by a well-known Ugaritic scholar, Mitchel Dahood, on a classic grammar of the Ugaritic language, C. H. Gordon's Ugaritic Textbook (Analecta Orientalia, 38: Pontifical Biblical Institute, Roma 1965). Originally published in 1965, immediately after the appearance of Gordon's work, Dahood's book soon established itself as a stimulating companion volume. It has continued to sell well over the years, and this new edition consists in a reprint of the original edition with a brief appendix of corrections and additions. All three principal of Gordon's work -grammar texts in transliteration and glossary- are taken into consideration and commend upon in various details.
