The Topography of the City State of Ugarit

W.H. van Soldt provides the reader with a careful and detailed study on cities and villages within the kingdom of Ugarit based on the complete textual evidence written either in the syllabic or the alphabetic script. He attempts to evaluate the relative size and location of the cities and villages and to reconstruct the administrative districts. Chapters devoted to etymology, spelling and grammar of the toponyms and extensive indices enable scholars to use the volume as a manual of Ugaritic toponyms as well.
