Editorial Reviews

Examples from texts and dialects of the entire Phoenician-Punic period (1200 BCE-350 CE) bring to life the grammatical description of this language. Included are fully vocalized Punic and Neo-Punic inscriptions of Roman Tripolitiana in Latin orthography as well as the literary fragments of Punic drama as found in Plautus' comedy . Examples present a full picture of the language's phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and usage. The language's history and its various dialects are dealt with in an introduction. Much of this material is presented for the first time. The author teaches ancient and Biblical languages at the University of Michigan. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

'...Krahmalkov must be thanked for giving us the most comprehensive dictionary of Poenician and Punic to date. That is no small task! Philologists, historians, and students of religion are all indebted to him for this contribution.’
