Not only those who presented papers but also others who attended part or all of the whole programme, which lasted three days, were unanimous about the importance of the subject and the interest it represents for future research. The symposium could not have taken place without very gener ous financial support extended by the Dutch Academy of Sciences (KNAW) and by Leiden University (the Leids Universitair Fonds, the Research School CNWS, and the former Department of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Ugaritic Languages and Cultures). The editors are grateful to the series editors, Professors A.S. van der Woude and F. Garcia Martinez, for agreeing to publish this volume, and to our con tributors for their patient and ready cooperation. November, 1996 T. Muraoka (Leiden) J. F.
