History
The journal was founded in 1884 by William Rainey Harper as Hebraica. In 1895 it was renamed the American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures, finally becoming JNES in 1942. It is the only US journal exclusively devoted to the subject. It was published quarterly, but since 2010 it is published twice a year. Volume 65 began in January 2006.
