This orientation includes a brief history of the decipherment of the language, the contributions the Ugaritic language has made to better understanding certain features of Biblical Hebrew language and composition, and the importance of key Ugaritic texts for more fully appreciating the epic and mythological background of selected Hebrew Bible images, concepts and narrative patterns. The final section includes a brief description of the corpus of tablets, attempts to demystify the different notation systems by which the tablets are identified and classified, and provides a basic bibliography of modern scholarly resources.
