The Goddess Anath: Canaanite Epics on the Patriarchal Age (Texts, Hebrew Translation, Commentary and Introduction)

The book contains three parts a) An introduction to Ugaritic literature that is based on the texts discovered (up to 1951) at the Ras-Shamra, in general, and on the epic of Baal in particular. b) Some Ugaritic tablets containing episodes from the epic of Baal, in which the goddess Anath plays an important role. These texts appear in three parallel columns: the first gives a transcription of the Ugaritic text in Latin characters, the second contains Cassuto's Hebrew translation, and the third comprises the English rendering. c) A commentary on these texts. This work also sheds invaluable light on important and hitherto unexplained linguistic usages in the Bible, while the author's brilliant methodology will serve as an enduring beacon of light to many generations of researchers.Cassuto, U. is the author of 'The Goddess Anath: Canaanite Epics on the Patriarchal Age (Texts, Hebrew Translation, Commentary and Introduction)', published 1971 under ISBN 9789652234827 and ISBN 9652234826.
