Dirk Schwiderski - Böcker

The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) covers all areas of research into the Old Testament, focusing on the Hebrew Bible, its early and later forms in Ancient Judaism, as well as its branching into many neighboring cultures of the Ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world. BZAW welcomes submissions that make an original and significant contribution to the field; demonstrate sophisticated　engagement with the relevant secondary literature; and are written in readable, logical, and engaging prose.

This collected edition presents the texts of the more than 2500 Old and Imperial Aramaic inscriptions (10th - 3rd cents. BC) hitherto published; they cover an area extending from Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria and Palestine to Afghanistan. It serves as a reference volume for the concordance, which will be published in 2007 and provides rapid access to the overall context of every reference. Each text is provided with the most important editions and further bibliographical references. The work thus provides scholars with the total corpus of Old and Imperial Aramaic epigraphs in a single volume.
