The Origin, Development, and Enduring Meaning of the Jewish SabbathJon D. Levenson “Israel’s Day of Light and Joy is a comprehensive and serious study of the sinuous history, dynamic cultural and political forces, and various religious ideologies surrounding the meaning and application of a Jewish Sabbath. For documentary-historians complete answers and the full story may never be known, none the less, Israel’s Day of Light and Joy verifies the truth of what nineteenth-century essayist Ahad Ha’am wrote, ‘More than Israel has kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept Israel.’”
—Fred Reiss, San Diego Jewish World

Part 1: Reference GrammarHarry A. Hoffner Jr. and H. Craig Melchert “In this second edition of A Grammar of the Hittite Language, Melchert superbly synthesizes the substantially increased knowledge of all aspects of Hittite grammar since the first edition in 2008, regularly adding his own original grammatical insights. The discussion excellently represents the state of the art while also making clear that much work still needs to be done. The book is a must-read for Hittitologists and Indo-Europeanists.”
—Petra Goedegebuure, senior editor of The Chicago Hittite Dictionary
