Publication Data Paper: Digital Second Edition of Judaica Americana: A Bibliography of Publications to 1900(2020-07-02) Esten, EmilyThis dataset, extracted from Robert Singerman’s 1990 publication of Judaica Americana, contains bibliographic data of publications before the year 1900 pertaining to Jewish people, Judaism, and Jewish culture published in the United States, in any language. The data is primarily stored on the research data repository site ScholarlyCommons at the University of Pennsylvania, and it powers an Omeka site of the same name. Reuse potential of the data includes its use as a reference tool for early American Jewish history and history of the book, historical bibliometric data, book trade documentation, and as a support for the extant study of digitization efforts in research libraries.

Beginning with text copies and collations such as those by H. Winckler and L. Abel in 1889-90,1 C. Bezold and E. A. W. Budge in 1892,2 and Otto Schroeder in 1914-15,3 it was not long until what has come to be the definitive edition of these texts was published by J. A. Knudtzon in 1915.4 Since that time, another seven important tablets which were part of the original find at El-Amarna have been published by F. Thureau-Dangin and G. Dossin.5 The site yielded some dozen or so more tablets and fragments in the course of later excavations by German and British archaeologists.6 Similar documents have been added to the total Amarna corpus by discoveries at various locations in Palestine, including Tell el-Hesi, Taanach, Gezer, Shechem,7 Jericho,8 Megiddo,9 and Hazor.10Publication Semitic Phonemes with Special Reference to the Ugaritic and in the Light of the Egyptian Evidence(1949-05-11) LaSor, William SOur task is to study the phonemes of the Semitic language, including, so far as is reasonably certain, the Egyptian language, and paying particular attention to new evidence made available by the discovery of Ugaritic. This task will require dealing with descriptive phonemics, which is the analysis of the phonetic nature of each phoneme in each stage of development in the several languages.Publication Interview with Michael Paley(2017-02-14) Paley, MichaelPublication Interview with Alan Mintz(2017-03-23) Mintz, AlanPublication Aramaic and Mandean Magic and Their Demonology(1956-04-19) Wallis, Wilber BThe Aramaic texts to be discussed in this thesis are magical incantations against evil powers. The texts are written on earthenware bowls found in archaeological investigations or by chance in Iraq and Iran. The bowls and texts appear to date from Sassanian Babylonia(1Publication Parallelism in the Hodayot from Qumran(1991-11-19) Williams, Gary RThe dissertation aims to analyze parallelism in the Hodayot from Qumran and to compare it with parallelism in early biblical poetry, Isaiah 1-18, and Isaiah 40-45. Particular attention is given to basic units of composition (couplets, triplets, quatrains, etc.), grammatical parallelism, semantic parallelism, and the relationship between these last two. A topic of secondary importance is the length of poetic lines. After a few paragraphs on the purpose, importance, and overview of the dissertation, the first chapter reviews recent research on the central issues to be dealt with in the study, and then explains the method and terminology to be used in the analysis of parallelism. Chapter II analyzes 266 basic units from the Hodayot, consisting of 647 poetic lines. The third chapter is a statistical summary of the results obtained in Chapter II concerning kinds of basic units, line length, degree of semantic parallelism between the lines, degree of congruence between grammatical and semantic parallelism, grammatical rewrites, internal parallelism, ellipsis and compensation, repetition, parallel unit set structures, and categories of semantic parallelism. The fourth and final chapter compares the statistics from the Hodayot with those from similar studies in early biblical poetry, Isaiah 1-18, and Isaiah 40-45. Enough similarities are found among the four corpora to show that they all belong to the same basic prosodic tradition. Among the differences that distinguish the Hodayot from the biblical corpora are the following: larger ratio of triplets to couplets, more strophes of more than four parallel lines, fewer lines of three grammatical units, more lines of more than four grammatical units, more triplets with a 2:2:2 grammatical unit count, a greater variety of grammatical unit counts, less repetition in consecutive lines, more parallelism of grammatically divisible semantic compounds, less surface level grammatical parallelism, more semantic parallelism and deep level grammatical parallelism between verbal clauses and infinitive phrases, and less parallelism between single words (as opposed to phrases and clauses).
