Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty, Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

An important part of the Ancient Levantine literatures represent texts of scholarly, legal, administrative and school nature. The respective texts are organized chronologically, which enables the reader to recognize a development of the individual genres.

While the earliest attested documents are dated to the 3rd millennium BCE, the latest represent a wealth of the Iron Age of the 1st millennium BCE.
