Classical Ethiopic

A Grammar of Gəˁəz

$69.95 $41.17

“For almost two decades, Josef Tropper’s Altäthiopisch has been the standard grammar for Gəˁəz. This English translation by Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee is even more useful thanks to the addition of the Ethiopic script throughout. For students and scholars alike, Classical Ethiopic is the best grammar of Gəˁəz available in any language.”—Aaron M. Butts, author of Language Change in the Wake of Empire: Syriac in Its Greco-Roman Context

Lahav VIII: The EB III and LB II to Iron II Strata in the Western City at Tell Halif

Excavations in Field III, 1977–1987

Oded Borowski and Joe D. Seger

“While broad archaeological conclusions are important in a final report, they also become dated quickly. To present a detailed and argued stratigraphic matrix along with descriptions of what was found in most of the archaeological contexts, is the key to a successful final archaeological report that will withstand years of scholarship. What was found, where was it found, what was found with it, and in what context are the data that future researchers will seek. Borowski and Seger have provided just that.”—Jeffrey Blakely, coeditor of Hesi after 50 Years and 130 Years: Beginning a New Generation of Hesi Research

Ashkelon 10

The Philistine Cemetery

Daniel M. Master, Adam J. Aja, and Rachel Kalisher

From 2013 to 2016, the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon excavated an Iron Age cemetery located immediately outside the rampart of the ancient city. This cemetery dates from the period when Ashkelon was a Philistine city, and it is the first one excavated at any of the core Philistines cities. The Philistines are known today mainly as they are portrayed in sources written by others, such as the Hebrew Bible, in stories told by their enemies. In Ashkelon 10, the Philistine story is retold using archaeological evidence. As such, the Philistine cemetery is not only an important reference for the history of the Philistines but a critical piece for understanding the broader puzzle of death and burial in the southern Levant in the first millennium b.c.

The Great Hymn to Šamaš

Geraldina Rozzi

This new and updated edition of the Great Hymn to Šamaš incorporates all the manuscripts of the Great Hymn to Šamaš discovered so far.

It also includes an in-depth introduction to the text, the reconstructed cuneiform text, a transliteration, and a translation by B. Foster. Additionally, this edition is accompanied by a commentary that discusses relevant philological features, along with a glossary and sign list.

Modern Transformations of the China–Southeast Asia Borderlands

Edited by Lian Xi, David Bradley, and Ralph A. Litzinger

“An extraordinarily rich and quite fascinating range of case studies of Christianity in multiple societies that stand on the margins of the better-known societies of Southeast Asia. There is so much of value here for scholars of Christian conversion in the modern world, and of Christian adaptation to diverse cultural settings, not to mention for borderland studies in general. The essays are of uniformly high quality.”—Philip Jenkins, author of Kingdoms of This World: How Empires Have Made and Remade Religions

Ware, author of Methodologies of Black Theology
