1 comments about Corpus of West Semitic Stamp Seals.
- This is another publication of stamps and seals from biblical times. This one is by professor Navigad who initiated the work and by Benjamin Sass, who revised and completed it. It is one the most thorough volume of its kind.
The introductory material of nearly 50 pages deal with anything and everything surrounding the seals. It discusses the selection process, cataloging, paleography, iconography, nationality (the seals in this volume are not restricted to Hebrew seals only), vocalization and more. It also discusses the ancient practice of sealing and storing official documents, includes illustrations of the process and relates it to the biblical accounts of such practices, such as those recorded in chapters 32 and 36 of the Book of Jeremiah.
The next part of the books deals with the actual artifacts, which are grouped by nationality. Within each section, there is some introductory material followed by (whenever applicable) Kings, officials, men with titles, women, untitled men, blessings, etc. The grouping of seals or stamps by nationality is as follows:
1. Hebrew seals
2. Hebrew bullae and other seals
3. Hebrew jar-handle impressions
4. Phoenician seals
5. Aramaic seals
6. Ammonite seals
7. Moabite seals
8. Edomite seals
9. Moabite or Edomite seals (uncertain origin)
10. Possible Philistine seals
11. Hebrew-Phoenician seal
12. Hebrew-Aramaic seals
13. Hebrew-Ammonite seal
14. Hebrew or Moabite (or Edomite?) seals
15. Phoenician or Aramaic (or Ammonite) seals
16. Aramaic or Ammonite seals
17. Undefined seals
18. Seals with pseudo-script
19. Questionable and forged seals: a selection
20. West Semitic attribution doubtful: a selection
The last section of the book is devoted to the names and inscriptions from the seals. It first discusses words other than personal names, such as titles, professions, deities, various phrases and formulas, blessings and more. The next part of this section deals with the actual names and this is a very thorough and valuable resource, especially for onomastic research. It discusses the use or prefixes, suffixes, hypocoristic endings, gender and much more. It also discusses names by nationality or rather etymology, such as West Semitic, Mesopotamian, Egyptian and norther names, such as Hittite, Luwian or Hurrian.
It also discusses other seals and bullae which are unpublished, has an extensive bibliography, references to other publications of the kind and a number of indexes and lists. These are always a very useful resource and include names with transliterations by nationality, legends, foreign names and words, and citations from the Bible and the Apocrypha. Once again, it is a very thorough and a very useful resource, which offers a unique and somewhat personal view to the lives of the people living in Biblical lands during Biblical times. I highly recommend it.
