The corpus includes texts like the Lachish and Arad letters, the Siloam tunnel inscription, the recently discovered religious texts from Kuntillet Ajerud, and the hundreds of seals, seal-impressions and weights that are now known. Each text is given a unique reference number according to a specially devised system, with an indication of its date and place of origin (where these are known) and one or more bibliographical references. It covers all complete words in the texts (including prepositions and names of persons and places), and also the Egyptian hieratic numerals and other symbols that were used in them.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface and acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Transliteration scheme\u003cbr\u003e Key to symbols\u003cbr\u003e List of sites and polytopic entries\u003cbr\u003e Map: the provenances of the inscriptions\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Corpus of inscriptions from before 200 BC\u003cbr\u003e Concordance\u003cbr\u003e Synopsis of collections of inscriptions.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Palaeography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Palaeography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Palaeography%20%5Bhistory%20of%20writing%5D%20%5BCFL%5D%22\"\u003ehistory of writing CFL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46007237345560,"sku":"9780521402484","price":179.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521402484i_3cdde1fb-137b-4b2f-a0b8-b4c52ed7202a.jpg?v=1691381158","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ancient-hebrew-inscriptions-volume-1-corpus-and-concordance-hardback-9780521402484","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
