Description

Late Punic Epigraphy: An Introduction to the Study of Neo-Punic and Latino-Punic Inscriptions by Karel Jongeling and Robert Kerr provides an accessible introduction to Northwest Semitic epigraphy. This collection of texts, written in both neo-Punic and Latin script, offers a comprehensive overview of the subject. The book includes a selection of relatively easy-to-understand inscriptions, accompanied by thorough commentary that explains the readings, scribal conventions, and idiosyncrasies of later Punic writing. The authors also present new interpretations and dispense with existing ones, reflecting recent research in the field. Suitable for classroom use or private study, this book is intended to broaden the selection offered by previous works while building on existing knowledge. A glossary provides both common and proper nouns in Latin transcription, making it easier for readers to consult and understand the inscriptions.
