Ancient Egyptian phonology
In Ancient Egyptian Phonology. James Allen studies the sounds of the language spoken by the ancient Egyptians through application of the most recent methodological advances for phonological reconstruction. Using the internal evidence of the language, he proceeds from individual vowels and consonants to the sound of actual ancient Egyptian texts. Allen also explores variants, alternants, and the development of sound in texts, and touches on external evidence from Afroasiatic cognate languages. The most up to date work on this topic, Ancient Egyptian Phonology is an essential resource for Egyptologists and will also be of interest to scholars and linguists of African and Semitic languages.

Yiddish Theater
The history of the Yiddish theater is not a straightforward one. In traditional Judaism, theatrical performances could only put on at the festival of Purim and by men. The texts performed that have come down to us are no fully developed dramas. This apparently started to change around 1700, since some texts of plays which have been preserved from that period onwards have the hallmarks of contemporary drama. However, we can only speak of a modern professional Yiddish theater from the second half of the nineteenth century.
In this publication, Evi Michels discusses the developments in the early modern period with a special emphasis on Amsterdam, and Alyssa Quint describes the beginnings of the modern Yiddish theater.
