Eblaitica: Essays on the Ebla Archives an Deblaite Language (Publications of the Center for Ebla Research at New York University) (Publications of the Center for Ebla Research at New York University) ReviewThere are four volumes in this series; if you buy this book you will be getting volume 2 (volume 1 was printed in 1987, volume 2 in 1990, and volume 3 in 1992, volume 4 in 2002).
If you are looking at this book, you may already know about Ebla, but if not... Ebla is an ancient city of Syria dating to the Early Bronze age -- ~2400 B.C. In the 1970s an Italian excavation team discovered 7000 cuneiform tablets (busted into about 15000 pieces) in this ancient city. The Ebla tablets contain a new language, and are relevant to Biblical studies for their linguistic ties to Hebrew. Sadly, the publication of the Ebla tablets in translation (English translation) has been slow going -- instead of a book of translated tablets, we have these fine volumes at our disposal. This volume is a collection of technical essays (not all in English) on Ebla and the tablets. Some of the highlights of this book include an article on the gods of Canaan, a discussion of Northwest Semitic studies, and a paper by I. M. Diakonoff on Ebla and linguistics.
This volume is nice, but one is left wanting more (as in more of the actual translated Ebla texts themselves)!Eblaitica: Essays on the Ebla Archives an Deblaite Language (Publications of the Center for Ebla Research at New York University) (Publications of the Center for Ebla Research at New York University) Overview
