Book Synopsis Old Babylonian Texts in the Ashmolean Museum by : Stephanie Dalley
Download or read book Old Babylonian Texts in the Ashmolean Museum written by Stephanie Dalley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume contains an introduction, detailed catalogue, and full indices of 291 cuneiform clay tablets in the Ashmolean Museum, with hand-copies of each text. The tablets range in date from c.1900-1600 BC and the purpose of their publication is to make basic material available to cuneiform scholars. From such work it is gradually becoming possible to reassemble archives from scattered tablets in collections all over the world. Studies of reconstituted archives will be the basis for writing histories of these very early periods. This book is intended for scholars and students in Assyriology and ancient near-eastern history. Edited and translated by: Dalley, Stephanie (Shillito Fellow in Assyriology at the Oriental Institute, Oxford, and a Senior Research Fellow, Somerville College, Oxford); Unknown function: Yoffee, Norman (Professor of Anthropology)." - COPAC.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume completes the publication of all identified Old Babylonian tablets in the Ashmolean Museum accessed before 1966. Although many of them were acquired from dealers in the 1920s and 1930s, most can be assigned to sites and connected with similar holdings in other museums. The combination of full catalogue, indices, and copies provides an invaluable tool for further research on three of the most important cities of the 18th century BC. Links with Mycenaean administrative practices, and information about the hitherto dubious Sealand dynasty, are two interesting aspects highlighted in the introduction.
Book Synopsis Old Babylonian Texts in the Schøyen Collection, Part Two by : A. R. George
Download or read book Old Babylonian Texts in the Schøyen Collection, Part Two written by A. R. George and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Mesopotamia, men training to be scribes copied model letters in order to practice writing and familiarize themselves with epistolary forms and expressions. Similarly, model contracts were used to teach them how to draw up agreements for the transactions typical of everyday economic life. This volume makes available a trove of previously unknown tablets and fragments, now housed in the Shøyen Collection, that were produced in the training of scribes in Old Babylonian schools. Following on Old Babylonian Texts in the Schøyen Collection, Part One: Selected Letters, this volume publishes the contents of sixty-five tablets bearing Akkadian letters used to train scribes and twenty-six prisms and tablets carrying Sumerian legal texts copied in the same context. Each text is presented in transliterated form and in translation, with appropriate commentary and annotations and, at the end of the book, photographs of the cuneiform. The material is made easily navigable by a catalogue, bibliography, and indexes. This collection of previously unknown documents expands the extant corpus of educational texts, making an essential contribution to the study of the ancient world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babylonian Topographical Texts collects for the first time all Babylonian and Assyrian texts of the first millennium B.C. that belong to what is designated the topographical genre. Much of the material is not previously published. The book is largely concerned with Babylon. Seventeen texts on this city now allow its topography to be properly understood for the first time. Another seventeen texts concern the cities of Nippur, Assur, Kish and Uruk. Also included are thirty miscellaneous texts, mostly new, which bear upon topographical matters.

Book Synopsis Cuneiform Parallels to the Old Testament, Second Edition by : Robert W. Rogers
Download or read book Cuneiform Parallels to the Old Testament, Second Edition written by Robert W. Rogers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-07-19 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The first major collection of cuneiform texts in English' Despite its age, this volume still has a major contribution to make. Unlike other collections, Rogers's volume includes the transliterated Akkadian for each text. This provides an invaluable access to the original texts without having a library that includes every volume of the original publications. A further asset is the collection of forty-eight excellent photographs and line-drawings. Included here are tablets, prisms, cylinders, seals, boundary stones, and bas reliefs. The bibliography is composed of two parts. The first includes the entries from Rogers's ÒList of Books Quoted or Mentioned,Ó but with numerous corrections and supplying much missing data. The second part is an updated list, organized by major cuneiform languages: Diverse Collections, Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, Hurrian, Eblaite, and Ugaritic. This will direct the reader to the wealth of primary documents that is now our privilege to read.

Book excerpt: This volumes includes almost one hundred ancient documents from the ancient Near East that have relevance for the study ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible. It includes more than twenty photos of these documents, a newly updated bibliography, and a new foreword. The aim throughout the volume has been to relate each document as closely as possible to the Old Testament, and to bring out relevant points of interest touching history, chronology, archaeology, religion, literature, geography, and so on, in illustration of the Old Testament. Not all Israel's story is told in the Old Testament. It has to be supplemented by the evidence of ancient documents discovered by archaeologists--inscriptions on clay, stone, seals and coins, and writings on potsherds, papyrus and leather. Some part of this story it is the purpose of this volume to tell. . . . While Israel is not without her testimony to herself, it is for the most part the witness of her neighbours which is met with in the pages of this volume. --from the Preface

A short summary of the content of each of them is given and, if necessary, there is an accompanying discussion of specific problems. Each reconstructed archive is followed by a description of the activities recorded in it and by a study of its protagonists. A family tree is often added to clarify the history of the archive. In the second part of the volume, the data presented in the archival study are integrated in a comprehensive analysis of the early Old Babylonian economy. Aspects of economy, such as land and labor management, trade, crafts and credit are evaluated and situated in their specific historical context.

Book Synopsis Knowledge, Literacy, and Elementary Education in the Old Babylonian Period by : Robert Middeke-Conlin
Download or read book Knowledge, Literacy, and Elementary Education in the Old Babylonian Period written by Robert Middeke-Conlin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines education as a means to explore knowledge and literacy in the Old Babylonian period. It further employs a new method to research these topics. Contrary to numerous existing studies on the subject, the author examines elementary education globally, that is, in pursuit of Old Babylonian education in its entirety. Typically, education is examined in a piecemeal fashion. It's as if education centered on lexicography alone or mathematics alone. This work encompasses a view about educational content and knowledge systems, as opposed to only specific aspects or branches of them. In doing so, a characterization of institution and society is made possible allowing the work to open new general perspectives on Mesopotamian knowledge, literacy, and education.
Book Synopsis Mesopotamian Mathematics, 2100-1600 BC by : Eleanor Robson
Download or read book Mesopotamian Mathematics, 2100-1600 BC written by Eleanor Robson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics was integral to Mesopotamian scribal culture: indeed, writing was invented towards the end of the fourth millennium B.C. for the express purpose of recording numericalatical information. The main body of this book is a mathematical and philological discussion of the two hundred technical constants, or "coefficients," found in early second millennium mathematics. Their names and mathematical functions are established, leading to improved interpretations of several large mathematical topics. The origins of many coefficients--and much of the more practical mathematics--are traced to late third millennium accounting and quantity surveying practices. Finally, the coefficients are used to examine some aspects of mathematics education in early Mesopotamia.
Book Synopsis Ancient Mesopotamian Religion and Mythology by : W.G. Lambert
Download or read book Ancient Mesopotamian Religion and Mythology written by W.G. Lambert and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late W.G. Lambert (1926-2011) was one of the foremost Assyriologists of the latter part of the twentieth century. His principle legacy is a large number of superb critical editions of Babylonian literary compositions. Many of the texts he edited were on religious and mythological subjects. He will always be remembered as the editor of the Babylonian Job (Ludlul bel nemeqi, also known as the Poem of the Righteous Sufferer), the Babylonian Flood Story (Atra-hasis) and the Babylonian Creation Epic (Enuma elish). The present book is a collection of twenty-three essays Lambert published between the years 1958 and 2004. These endure not only as the legacy of one of the greatest authorities on ancient Mesopotamian religion and mythology, but also because each makes statements of considerable validity and importance. As such, many are milestones in the fields of Mesopotamian religion and mythology.

These chapters, however, also contain much material that appears for the first time. -- from the Preface
