Digital Logos Edition
The Goddess Anath contains an introduction to Ugaritic literature that is based on the texts discovered (up to 1951) at the Ras-Shamra, in general, and on the epic of Baal in particular. It offers Ugaritic tablets containing episodes from the epic of Baal, in which the goddess Anath plays an important role. This book includes a transcription of the Ugaritic text in Latin characters, Cassuto’s Hebrew translation, and an English translation. This work also sheds invaluable light on important and hitherto unexplained linguistic usages in the Bible, while the author’s brilliant methodology will serve as an enduring beacon of light to many generations of researchers.
With the Logos edition, this resource is fully integrated with the rest of your digital library. Links to original language texts, dictionaries, and other historical documents—such as the Amarna Letters—are only a click away! The Goddess Anath is an important addition to the libraries of Old Testament and Near Eastern scholars, and is ideal for anyone looking to understand more deeply the historical and cultural context of the Old Testament.
