Maarav听is a journal for the Study of the Northwest Semitic Languages and Literatures with an emphasis on linguistics, philology, and literary studies. This journal is devoted to the texts and verbal objects of the ancient Levant featuring Aramaic, Hebrew, Phoenician, and related languages. In addition to research on their verbal features,听Maarav听welcomes inquiry into their material, visual, and social aspects, their cultural horizons and relationships, and contemporary interests like the technological developments in decipherment, storage, representation, and analysis and the history and current practices of acquiring and interpreting ancient objects.

Beginning in 2023,听Maarav听will join the journals programs of the University of Chicago Press and the American Society for Overseas Research (ASOR).听Maarav听will join three other 17吃瓜journals published in partnership with the University of Chicago Press: the听Bulletin of ASOR, the听Journal of Cuneiform Studies, and听Near Eastern Archaeology.

Under the leadership of Professor Simeon Chavel (University of Chicago), an internationally renowned editorial board will ensure that the journal remains a leader in the field of Northwest Semitics. Professor Bruce Zuckerman (University of Southern California) has agreed to remain on the team as Editor Emeritus.

After being published exclusively in print,听Maarav听will be available electronically starting with Volume 27, the first issue published by the University of Chicago Press and ASOR. Back issues are now digitized, providing seamless access to the journal鈥檚 full archive for all institutional subscribers and 17吃瓜members. e-Book copies of听Maarav听will be available to all 17吃瓜members beginning with issues published in 2023.
