Matoïan,Valérie & Michel Al-Maqdissi. — Etudes ougaritiques IV.

Leuven, Peeters, 2016. 316 pp. B./w. ills. & maps. Softcover. - Front cover bit creased. (Ras Shamra - Ougarit XXIV).This volume is dedicated to the memory of Pierre Bordreuil. An internationally renowned researcher, epigrapher, and professor, Pierre Bordreuil joined the Ras Shamra archaeological mission team in 1971. This collective work, corresponding to 'Ugaritic Studies' IV, comprises sixteen articles to which nine members of the Ras Shamra team and five researchers from outside the mission contributed. Several texts are directly devoted to the life and work of Pierre Bordreuil. Most of the studies, whether they address archaeology or texts, are contributions to the study of Ugaritic civilization, and several present new data derived either from the mission's archives concerning earlier excavations or from current fieldwork at the sites of Ras Shamra and Tell Shamiyeh.
