| Summary: | Albright, a "master of the typological sciences" according to Frank Moore Cross, was an expert authority in West Semitic epigraphy and palaeography. His wide-ranging research includes insights into the Nash Papyrus, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Lachish Ostraca, the Gezer Calendar and the like. Here Hamilton concentrates on Albright's contributions to the knotty problem of the Proto-Canaanite inscriptions. Hamilton sketches the current state of the field of these important inscriptions that are directly related to the origin and early transmission of the alphabet. |
