Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
That Many Ancient Toponyms In The Holy Land Have Survived For Thousands Of Years, Right Up To Modern Times, Is A Remarkable And Unique Phenomenon, Unparalleled In Neighboring Countries, Such As Egypt, Mesopotamia, Or Asia Minor. Preserved Toponymy Provides A Basis For Research In The Historical Geography Of The Country And Is Also Of Major Importance For Studies In The History Of Hebrew And Aramaic, Being A Kind Of Ancient Recording Of An Archaic Linguistic Inventory. In Addition, It Has Many Implications For A Wide Variety Of Other Scholarly Fields, Such As Bible Studies, Rabbinics, Qumran And Samaritan Studies, Early Christianity, Arabic And Islam. This Reserve Of Preserved Placenames Is Therefore Frequently Consulted And Used By Scholars For Their Purposes. Surprisingly, However, Despite The Importance Of This Subject, There Have Been Very Few Attempts To Put Things In Order, And For Many Years There Have Been No Rules That Would Help To Understand The Changes That Occur In Toponyms. Accordingly, The Prevailing Situation In The Field Of Historical Geography Is One Of Nearanarchy; Lacking Hard And Fast Rules, Scholars Could Find Support For Their Identification Of An Ancient Toponym In Any Somewhat Similar Arabic Name. In Order To Break This Vicious Circle Of Conjectures Founded On Dubious Linguistic Assumptions, Producing Preservation Laws Themselves Provide An Alleged Basis For Historical Identification, And So On, Elitzur Has Tried, First And Foremost, To Lay Down Objective Criteria For The Selection Of Positive Identifications. On This Basis, He Has Built Up A Corpus Of 177 Toponyms Representing Positive Or Almostpositive Identifications, Upon Which This Study Is Based. Sixty Of These Toponyms Are Then Reviewed In Depth, Tracing Their Documentation In All Languages, Throughout Recorded History; In The Process, The Author Has Tried To Locate And Analyze Whatever Changes Occurred And When. The Linguistic Conclusions From The Material Follow, Arranged According To The Standard Layout Of Grammar Books. Innovative Conclusions And Ideas In The Context Of Historical Geography Emerged In The Course Of The Study Are Listed Alphabetically In The Last Part Of The Volume.
