Reviews
'...it is an important handbook that will be used by scholars and students..., and will retain its usefulness until additional finds of similar nature will help to determine more precisely the characteristics of the Deir'Alla plaster texts.'
Joseph Naveh, Israel Exploration Journal, 1994.
'The careful admittance by B. van der Kooij of the few new readings since the publication of the editio princeps, is an indication of the long road that lies ahead in unravelling the enigma of the plaster texts of Deir 'Alla. The publication on hand will serve as an encouragement for this road ahead.'
