The Oxford Handbook of the Phoenician and Punic Mediterranean

978-0-19-049934-1 (ISBN)
The Phoenicians created the Mediterranean world as we know it-yet they remain a shadowy and poorly understood group. The academic study of the Phoenicians has come to an important crossroads; the field has grown in sheer content, sophistication of analysis, and diversity of interpretation, and we now need a current overview of where the study of these ancient seafarers and craftsman stands and where it is going. Moreover, the field of Phoenician studies is particularly fragmented and scattered. While there is growing interest in all things Phoenician and Punic, the latest advances are mostly published in specialized journals and conference volumes in a plethora of languages. This Handbook is the first of its type to appear in over two decades, and the first ever to appear in English. In these chapters, written by a wide range of prominent and promising scholars from across Europe, North America, Australia, and the Mediterranean world, readers will find summary studies on key historical moments (such as the history of Carthage), areas of culture (organized around language, religion, and material culture), regional studies and areas of contact (spanning from the Levant and the Aegean to Iberia and North Africa), and the reception of the Phoenicians as an idea, entangled with the formation of other cultural identities, both ancient and modern.
Carolina López-Ruiz is Professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School and Department of Classics. She is the author of Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean, for which she received the support of the National Endowment of the Humanities. Her previous books include Tartessos and the Phoenicians in Iberia, When the Gods Were Born: Greek Cosmogonies and the Near East, and Colonial Encounters in Ancient Iberia: Phoenician, Greek, and Indigenous Relations (co-edited with M. Dietler). Some of her books have been translated into Turkish and Spanish. Brian R. Doak (PhD Harvard University) is Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Faculty Fellow in the William Penn Honors Program at George Fox University, just outside of Portland, Oregon. He is the recipient of the Aviram Prize for archaeological research (2012) as well as the George Fox University Undergraduate Researcher of the Year (2014). He is the author of several books, including Phoenician Aniconism in its Mediterranean and Ancient Near Eastern Contexts (SBL Press, 2015), Heroic Bodies in Ancient Israel (Oxford University Press, 2018), and the forthcoming Ancient Israel's Neighbors (Oxford University Press).
