University of Chicago Press, 1993. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. The translation into English of the groundbreaking work on proto-cuneiform. From the jacket: 'Using the latest philological research and new methods of computer analysis, the authors have for the first time deciphered much of the numerical information. In reconstructing both the social context and the function of the notation, they consider how the development of our earliest written records affected patterns of thought, the concept of number, and the administration of household economies. Complete with computer-generated graphics keyed to the discussion and reproductions of all documents referred to in the text, Archaic Bookkeeping will interest specialist in Near Eastern civilizations, ancient history, the history of science and mathematics, and cognitive psychology.' The jacket shows minor scuffs and wear, with some creasing the lower edge of the back panel. The yellow cloth binding is bright, and the interior is clean and unmarked. 169 pages. 9 x 9, University of Chicago Press, 1993, 4, Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1995. First edition. Hardcover.

This collective volume is devoted to the Phoenician and the Punic civilization studied for its own purpose but also for its relationship with contemporaneous cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. The first part discusses the various sources relating to the Phoenician and Punic world; a second part attempts to sum up the different facets of its material and cultural surrounding. The third part expounds the present state of our knowledge of the Phoenicians and the Punics in each of the large geographical areas where they have emerged. The work thus assembles clearly, conveniently and as completely as possible the basic facts that will allow specialists of fellow disciplines to initiate themselves, and well-informed researchers to complete or check easily their information. This volume includes a bibliography, illustrations, maps and indexes. (Publisher) Contents: Introduction.; S. Moscati. --; I.; Les Sources.; Les inscriptions /; M.G.
