' This work represents a massive achievement in West Semitic lexicography surpassing in breadth and scope its forerunner, Dictionnaire des inscriptions simitiques de l'ouest authored by C.F. Jean and J. Hoftijzer in 1960-1965.'<br>M.S.S., Old Testament Abstracts, 1995.<br>'.. .ce dictionnaire offre un acchs priviligii l'ivolution historique des dialectes nord-ouest simitiques. Il s'agit donc d'un outil absolument indispensable pour l'itude non seulement du vocabulaire des inscriptions traities mais aussi de celui des textes hibraoques, bibliques ou non...excellent outil de travail.'<br>Jean-Daniel Macchi, Etudes Thiologiques et Religieuses, 1996.<br>' The North-West Semitic epigraphic contributes considerably to our understanding of the Old Testament and of the Ugaritic texts and to our knowledge of the North-West Semitic languages as such.'<br> SHOFAR, 1995.<br>'Dictionary of the North-West Semitic Inscriptions will be of inestimable value for those studying biblical Hebrew words. The publisher and authors deserve thanks from Northwest Semitic specialists and biblical exegetes for making this fine work available to the scholarly community...all serious students of the inscriptions and of the Old Testament will find the dictionary to be an indispensable research tool for years to come.'<br>Robert B. Chisholm Jr., Bibliotheca Sacra, 1996.<br>' Although this is a technical work, the study of theological terms and concepts in the Hebrew Old Testament will be enriched by reference to the larger context in which they occur. The comprehensive nature of this work, bringing together a collection of the vocabulary of diverse texts into a single convenient source, makes the dictionary auseful reference tool for theological libraries.'<br>Richard S. Hess, Themelios, 1996.<br>' The way in wich [the authors] have documented and presented their evidence will certainly guarantee that this dictionary will not only be a major source of information, but also one of the hall-marks in this field of study for many years to come.'<br>C.H.J. van der Merwe, Journal of Northwest Semitic Languages, 1997.<br>' The value and usefulness of the Dictionary prepared by Hoftijzer and Jongeling is not diminished.

Rich documentation widens opportunities for more exact interpretation and for further research...Those who contributed in various ways to its successful realization (cf. xvi-xvii), deserve gratitude of those who will benefit from this work. And even more the gratitude has to be expressed to both authors of this magnificent dictionary, so rich and so exact.'<br>Stanislav Segert, Archmv Orientalnm, 1997.<br>' Es ist unbestreitbar [...] da_ unserer Wissenschaft wieder ein hvchst wichtiges und zuverldssiges Arbeitsinstrument bereitgestellt wird.

DNWSI represents years of painstaking work, carried out with extreme care and expert diligence. It will serve scholars of Northwest Semitic well for years to come.'<br>Gary A. Rendsburg, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 1998.<br>' It seems that every student of Semitics and related areas has studied at least some of the epigraphic material from biblical times. This could not have been done properly without this excellent tool, the work of the late Charles-F. Jean and his successor, Jacob Hoftijzer. The latter eminent scholar and his colleague, K. Jongeling, have gifted the scholarly world with a new, much enlarged and most welcome edition of that work.'<br>Schlomo Izre'el, Israel Oriental Studies, 1998.<br>
