As Elnatan Weissert of Hebrew U told me upon the death of Jonas Greenfield, with whom I'd traveled to Israel to study, "All we can do is try to continue in his way."<BR/><BR/>Is there a bibliography of his work post-1990? I gained much consolation from looking at Greenfield's reviews after his death, hearing his voice in even his minor writings.<BR/><BR/>Seth SandersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9396860.post-1128343975400468232005-10-03T08:52:00.000-04:002005-10-03T08:52:00.000-04:00This is indeed sad news.

When I was a graduate student under Loren Fisher at the Claremont Graduate School in the late 60s, we worked closely with Prof. Segert has on a number of projects and he was always extremely helpful. I just finish reading his lengthy review of Dietrich and Loretz', Die Keilalphabete . . . . I consult his Ugaritic and Phoenician grammars often. This death is a real loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
