Canaanite.org resources:
One of the rarest books out there, and one of the most important for researchers is “Kanaanaische und Aramaische Inschriften”. It remains a resource book on Phoenician Inscriptions. Since this book is very rare, and the information cannot be found anywhere, here is a link to the texts of existing Phoenician and Punic Inscriptions for your use. This book has an expired copyright in Lebanon, so there is no violation of copyright issues. In all cases, this just a section of the work and not all. It is not for sale or reproduction. It is to be used by the researcher as a resource for research work. It is in a PDF format, so make sure you have a pdf reader.
