`The editors are to be congratulated on both their careful work and the speed with which they hve produced this fine volume.' International Review of Biblical Studies, Vol.45, 98/99. `a significant contribution to the DJD, especially because of its content and presentation so different from the other volumes. Professor Leith offers in this well organized volume a wealth of information explaining subjects, art and technique of seals from the fourth century B.C.E. Samaria and elucidating their contacts with other cultures.' Communio Viatorum, A Theological Journal, 2, XLI, 99. `Her introduction is breathtaking in depth and breadth, wonderfully lucid, and extraordinarily learned - the product of the finest scholarship. The rest of the book is the same ... The amount of information collected in this work is astounding ... All of this is controlled with authority and discipline and is presented in a prose that can only be called elegant. The usual high photographic standards of the series prevail in this volume ... It is an extraordinary work of erudition and scholarship, one that informs many fields of inquiry.' Walter E Aufrecht, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 61, 1999 `This interesting monograph... The production and printing of the book is fully up to the highest standards of the Clarendon Press, with excellent illustrations ... a catalogue for which all students of glyptics will continue to be grateful.' Journal of Semitic Studies `The volume is attractively presented and is a must for research libraries and specialists.' Andrew Vaughn, Gustavus Adolphus College, MN, Religious Studies Review, Vol 25, no 3, July 99

A work of the highest academic standards ... I would like to endorse fully the opinion given by W.E. Aufrecht (CBQ 61 [1999]: 755): It is an extraordinary work of erudition and scholarship; one that informs many fields of inquiry, not the least of which are Greek, Persian, Phoenician, and Jewish history and culture with their manifold interrelationships. Stanislaw Medala, Dead Sea Discoveries The editors are to be congratulated on both their careful work and the speed with which they have produced this fine volume. International Review of Biblical Studies This interesting monograph ... The production and printing of the book is fully up to the highest standards of the Clarendon Press, with excellent illustrations ... a catalogue for which all students of glyptics will continue to be grateful. Journal of Semitic Studies The volume is attractively presented and is a must for research libraries and specialists. Religious Studies Review
