Handbook of Ugaritic Studies by

sofer_mahir's review against another edition

4.0

This is a helpful compendium of all things related to Ugarit and Ugaritic. Parts are fascinating (i.e., Margalit's chapter on The Legend of Keret), while others are dreadfully boring (i.e., del Olmo Lette's chapter on cultic lists). Parts are no doubt outdated (like the concluding chapter on the use of computer technology in Ugaritology, in which the authors are quite excited about new technologies such as JPEGs and DVD-ROMs). On the whole, this will make a great reference work to use in my further study.
