A Primer on Ugaritic is an introduction to the language of the
ancient city of Ugarit, a city that flourished in the second
millennium BCE on the Lebanese coast, placed in the context of the
culture, literature, and religion of this ancient Semitic culture.
The Ugaritic language and literature was a precursor to Canaanite
and serves as one of our most important resources for understanding
the Old Testament and the Hebrew language. Special emphasis is
placed on contextualization of the Ugaritic language and comparison
to ancient Hebrew as well as Akkadian. The book begins with a
general introduction to ancient Ugarit, and the introduction to the
various genres of Ugaritic literature is placed in the context of
this introduction. The language is introduced by genre, beginning
with prose and letters, proceeding to administrative, and finally
introducing the classic examples of Ugaritic epic. A summary of the
grammar, a glossary, and a bibliography round out the volume.
