Preface to the Third Edition

Ten years after the second edition of DUL, the authors think that now is the
right time to publish the third edition. On this occasion, it could not be a simple
reprint merely to satisfy the expected requirements of the market. Instead, it
had to be a thoroughly revised edition, particularly with regard to content and
layout. There have been several reasons that prompted us to do this, principally
the excellent response we received from users of the two previous editions.
In this third edition of DUL, the following changes have been made to the
text of the first and second editions:

1. Observations and criticisms of a lexicographical nature made by our


reviewers have been taken into account where they seemed appropriate.
We cannot mention them all by name (some reviews were only general
appraisals), but we do wish to thank very particularly the detailed remarks
provided by our colleagues Holger Gzella (BiOr 64, 2007, 527–567), Leonid
Kogan (AuOr 24, 2006, 135–141), Ignacio Márquez (Sefarad 68, 2008, 461–
472) and Josef Tropper (ZDMG 158, 2008, 432–436).
2. All the typographical errors or any other kind of mistake that we ourselves
have noticed or that were pointed out by our reviewers, have been cor-
rected.
3. The translations of the texts in the various entries in the dictionary are
now uniform.
4. No bibliography before 1970 has been included, with the exception of a
few references that are particularly important.
5. New bibliographical references that have appeared since 2000 have been
added.
6. The most significant contribution has been the inclusion of lexemes
from the texts published in RSOu 18 (‘Maison d’ Ourtenou’, 1994–2002
campaigns).
7. As a general rule, the readings as given in KTU3 have been adopted and
where necessary, the texts have been cited with the new numbering.
8. The outcome of studying the recently published texts in terms of lexicog-
raphy and new readings has been the insertion of new entries.
9. The translations as given in the lexicographical resources and dictionaries
have been quoted in order to support the options chosen. Furthermore,
additional sources have been included, for example for Syriac and OSA.
10. On the other hand, for PNN and TNN, the references to lexicographical
sources and dictionaries provided by various scholars to justify their
viii preface to the third edition

own particular etymological choices (when any were made) have been
omitted. Instead, for this material, references to the studies in question
are given.

As in the previous two editions, the authors have been fortunate enough to rely
on one of the foremost Ugaritologists for editorial collaboration. We are grateful
to Dr Wilfred G.E. Watson for his important contribution to the Dictionary and
not merely in respect of the final version into English. In particular, we wish to
emphasize the numerous philological suggestions that Dr Watson generously
shared with us during the final editorial stages. To a considerable extent, this
Dictionary is also his.
Anyone using DUL will continue to come across quite a number of question
marks which are unavoidable in a task where the results do not always corre-
spond to the amount of effort and time invested. As for the rest, we can only
agree with Spinoza’s own conclusion:

Scio me hominem esse et errare potuisse; ne autem errare, sedulo curavi.
