A PRIMER ON UGARITIC
“Despite the enormous importance of the Ugaritic language (and its impact on biblical studies), we have lacked an introduction to the language that is ideally suited for first-semester students or for selfstudy. Hunt and Schniedewind – at last! – have produced exactly such a volume. The inductive approach, the exposure to distinct literary genres, the glossed texts, the numerous cultural insights, and the grammatical précis in this primer are among the many aspects of the book that make it a must-have.” – Brent A. Strawn, Candler School of Theology and Graduate Division of Religion, Emory University
SCHNIEDEWIND HUNT
“In A Primer on Ugaritic, Joel Hunt and William Schniedewind have given to the field its first introduction to the Ugaritic language ever to be produced in English. Informed by the most recent research, the authors provide a well-rounded and balanced treatment of grammatical information and texts. This book contains everything students beginning Ugaritic need: a fine introduction to the ancient city of Ugarit; a concise survey of the grammar; accessible introductions to the various genres of texts; a chrestomathy of more than twenty Ugaritic texts from different genres, along with helpful notes; a glossary of the words in the texts with cognates from various languages; and a listing of resources for further study. The work is user-friendly, clear, and engaging. A very welcome addition to Ugaritic studies, this primer will serve generations of students.” – Mark Smith, New York University
