OverviewThere is something for everyone in this collection of essays, containing as it does a wide range of topics reflecting the depth and breadth of interest of the scholar in whose honor they were commissioned--Kevin J. Cathcart. The central focus is Near Eastern, and covers a range of philological, linguistic, exegetical, historical and interpretative issues. The Near Eastern languages examined under varying aspects include Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, Septuagintal Greek, Syriac and Ugaritic, while exegetical and text-critical topics include treatments of issues in Deuteronomy, 1 Kings, Isaiah, Amos, Psalms and the Song of Songs. Hermeneutical and historical essays touch on ancient Israel's history and its interpretation, as well as on the significance of such individuals as the consular official G.H. Fitzmaurice, E.H. Palmer in the Cambridge Libraries, William Lithgow of Lanark, and the contribution to Semitic epigraphy of the explorer, Julius Euting.
