The Ugaritic Poems of Keret and Aqhat:
A Bibliography

by Chiara Peri

This bibliography was finished in May, 1998. With the only exception of a reference to my new translation of the two poems, it has not been updated. I hope to have time to do that in the near future. In the meanwhile, take it as it is: an old bibliography.
