Dear all,

With apologies for cross-listing, I'd like to bring your attention to a
one-day workshop on *Ancient Egyptian-Coptic in Typological Perspective*,
in memory of the 25th anniversary of the death of Hans-Jakob Polotsky, one
of the founders of the first department of linguistics in Israel.

The workshop will be held at the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities

All are welcome!

Best wishes from Jerusalem,
Eitan
