The present volume comprises most of the English articles on Semitic
languages written by Gideon Goldenberg (1930-2013) after the first
collection of his selected writings was published ("Studies in Semitic
Linguistics.. Additionally, two hitherto unpublished studies on Old
Amharic have been included. This collection focuses on General Semitic
Philology, Ethiopian studies and, supplementary, studies on Neo-Aramaic.
It thus adds to the pictures of his scholarly impact which also has also
become apparent in the Festschrift dedicated to him ("Studies in Semitic
and General Linguistics".
