Ugaritic () is a Northwest Semitic language,〔Though usually classified as Northwest Semitic (Tropper, Josef "Ugaritic grammar", in ''(Handbuch der Orientalistik )'', Wilfred G. E. Watson, editor (1999). BRILL, ISBN 90-04-10988-9, ISBN 978-90-04-10988-9), Ugaritic is alternatively classified in a "North Semitic" group (Lipiński, Edward (2001). ''(Semitic languages: outline of a comparative grammar )''. Peeters Publishers, ISBN 90-429-0815-7, ISBN 978-90-429-0815-4, 780 pages. Volume 80 of Orientalia Lovaniensia analecta).〕 discovered by French archaeologists in 1929. It is known almost only in the form of writings found in the ruined city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), Syria.〔Schniedewind, William M. and Hunt, Joel H. (2007). ''(A primer on Ugaritic: language, culture, and literature )'' (p. 20). Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-87933-7, ISBN 978-0-521-87933-0, 226 pages.〕〔Edward L. Greenstein, "Texts from Ugarit Solve Biblical Puzzles", ''BAR'' 36:06, Nov/Dec 2010, pp. 48-53, 70. Found at (Biblical Archaeology Review website ). Accessed October 29, 2010.〕 It has been used by scholars of the Hebrew Bible to clarify Biblical Hebrew texts and has revealed ways in which ancient Israelite culture found parallels in the neighboring cultures.〔 Ugaritic has been called "the greatest literary discovery from antiquity since the deciphering of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mesopotamian cuneiform".〔 at p. 99〕 ==Corpus== The Ugaritic language is attested in texts from the 14th through the 12th century BC.〔(Quartz Hill School of Theology, Ugarit and the Bible )〕 The city was destroyed in 1180–1170 BC. Literary texts discovered at Ugarit include the ''Legend of Keret'', the ''Aqhat Epic'' (or ''Legend of Danel''), the ''Myth of Baal-Aliyan'', and the ''Death of Baal''the latter two are also collectively known as the ''Baal cycle''all revealing aspects of a Canaanite religion. According to one hypothesis, Ugaritic texts might solve the biblical puzzle of the anachronism of ''Ezekiel'' mentioning Daniel at ; it is because in both Ugaritic and the Ancient Hebrew texts, it is correctly ''Danel''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ugaritic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
