Henry, Mark James. "The syntax of reduced nominals in Akkadian." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2013. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/18561/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates within a generative framework a cluster of morphological and syntactic facts in the Old Babylonian variety of Akkadian, whose common property, despite many divergences, is the occurrence of structurally reduced nominal constituents. Akkadian nominals, whilst in their normal morphosyntactic form fairly rich both inflectionally and in their capacity to support complex nominal constituents, appear in various restricted syntactic contexts in reduced forms, entailing the loss of affixal expression of features (especially case, as well as gender and number), the barring of modifiers, as well as other restrictions. These phenomena may be divided into several major categories, one of which has clear parallels in well-studied Semitic languages (the nominal-internal 'construct state'), and others which do not have such parallels, including nouns in the construct-state morphological form as heads of relative clauses and the 'stative' (a peculiar form of nominal predication). Each of these phenomena is described, investigated and analysed in successive chapters, both individually and in terms of their interrelations and differences, and their possible implications for various aspects of generative syntactic theory are explored. For example, the investigation of the Akkadian construct state construction has important implications for aspects of the general generative theory of these constructions; construct-headed relative clauses both for this and for the theory of headed relative clauses, especially for the ongoing debate concerning the internal/external status of the head and some of the fine properties of the 'raising analysis'; the stative suggests the hitherto unrecognised existence of denominal incorporation to a verbal head producing a copula-like interpretation. This is the first extended generative study both of the Akkadian construct state and of the other phenomena mentioned above.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude vise à identifier ce qu’a pu être le costume de la sphère royale en Mésopotamie de l’époque d’Akkad à l’époque néo-babylonienne. Dans ce cadre, le costume est entendu comme l’ensemble des pièces susceptibles d’être portées – habits, couvre-chefs, ceintures, chaussures, bijoux, armes, insignes, etc. – de même que les coiffures ou les cosmétiques qui contribuent à l’apparence. Bien que la plupart d’entre eux ait aujourd’hui disparu, quelques vestiges matériels du costume mésopotamien subsistent et une multitude de textes et d’images l’évoque. Leur confrontation permet donc de restituer en partie la garde-robe royale. Pour ce faire, l’étude dresse d’abord un catalogue des matières et des pièces ayant pu être portées, lequel démontre une grande variété de types vestimentaires dont certains modèles particulièrement précieux. Cet inventaire typologique fournit le cadre d’une réflexion synthétique plus large sur la confection des habits ainsi que sur les permanences et les évolutions des différentes pièces identifiées. Notre travail retrace également la manière dont les éléments de costume étaient combinés ensemble, qui les portait et dans quels contextes. Par ailleurs, l’étude examine les facteurs de distinction sexuelle du costume, de même que les spécificités de l’habillement du souverain, à la fois parmi les autres membres de la sphère royale et entre rois des différentes cours mésopotamiennes. Enfin, le costume n’étant pas seulement un élément essentiel de la vie quotidienne mais aussi le vecteur de multiples discours, l’étude souligne son importance en Mésopotamie à travers sa valeur financière et sa place dans l’économie ainsi qu’à travers son rôle symboliqueThis study aims to identify the different elements that could have composed the costume in Ancient Mesopotamian royal sphere from Akkadian time to the fall of Neo-Babylonian Empire. The term of costume is understood as everything worn including clothes, hats, belts, baldrics, gloves, shoes, jewels, weapons, etc., and what contributes to the general appearance such as hairdresses or cosmetics. Although most of the material evidences of the costume in Ancient Mesopotamia have now disappeared, ancient texts and images relate it. Their confrontation enables us to partially reconstruct the royal wardrobe. The royal wardrobe included different types of pieces, each of them in a great variety of models, among which many were very precious. First, our study makes the inventory of clothing types and materials attested or presumed but also demonstrates how costume pieces were combined together, who worn them and in which circumstances. This typological study constitutes the base of a larger reflection upon the way costumes were made, the evolution over the analyzed period or the consistency of the different pieces of clothes. This part also sums up the gender distinction points of the costume and the specificities of the king’s costume in the royal sphere and between the various Mesopotamian courts. Finally, costume being not only an essential part of daily life but also a mean of communication, this study underlines its importance in Mesopotamia through its financial value, its major place in the economy and also through its symbolic role

Full textAbstract:
Neo-Babylonian (NB) was the last surviving dialect of the Semitic language known as Akkadian and it was still being used for the compilation of records at the beginning of our era. Many thousands of NB economic and legal documents and letters exist, particularly from the sixth century B.C., yet the language is still to be studied, as the various ways in which a word could be spelled suggested it was no longer coherent as a language and therefore that it was not worth studying. Aramaic was presumed to have taken over. I have attempted to find out if this is the case by making a synchronic grammatical study of the NB dialects of Babylon and Uruk from 556 to 500 B.C. These cities have been chosen because they have produced considerable amounts of material. The period also spans the Persian conquest of 539 B.C. Part one deals with syntax and morphology. Consistency of syntactical patterns indicates that NB was a living and evolving language and that the influence of Aramaic and Old Persian was minimal. Part two deals with orthography and suggestions on pronunciation and stress. The main difficulty in establishing how much NB has changed from earlier phases of Akkadian (including earlier NB) lies in understanding how the loss of short final vowels has changed word shape. The extent to which words could end in consonant clusters is not clear as cuneiform is unable to represent consonant clusters in word final position. I conclude that the lack of difference between the NB dialects of Babylon and Uruk suggests that efforts were being made to preserve the language and that the scribal teaching methods must have been similar in the two cities.

Full textAbstract:
The earliest, but scarce, evidence of cuneiform signs being used syllabically to write Akkadian words and proper nouns is at Fara and Tell Abu Salabikh between 2600 BC and 2500 BC. Between around 2350 BC and 1800 BC, there is an increase in the development and use of signs with syllabic values across Mesopotamia and Syria, but these syllabic values (together called 'syllabaries') are still very local in nature with significant and observable differences in sign usage and values between sites. Starting around 1800 BC, reforms to the system begin to be enforced that standardise these signs and their values, which essentially ends any major variability in the script within specific periods. This provides us with a period of almost 600 years, spanning the second half of the third millennium and early second millennium BC, during which there is a wealth of textual data documenting the first full adaptation of the cuneiform script to syllabically write Semitic words and proper nouns. This thesis investigates the attestations and usage of syllabic values to write Semitic lexemes in the cuneiform text corpora from Ebla, Mari, Nabada, Tuttul, Adab, Eshnunna, Kish, Tutub, Assur, and Gasur - with a particular focus on the Syrian sites - during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC in order to answer the following two research questions: 1. Did each third millennium site in Mesopotamia and Syria have its own unique syllabary? 2. What were the primary factors that influenced the differences between the syllabaries? This research uses a series of three interdependent techniques to determine and understand the use and distribution of syllabic values within the cuneiform writing system during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC. The results suggest that during this period cuneiform syllabaries are variable, and that variation can further inform us about the regional, temporal, and dialectical contexts in which they existed. The addition of this research to the wider literature on the early adaptation of cuneiform will enhance the field's understanding of how cuneiform syllabic values began to develop and emerge across the ancient Near East, and demonstrates how scientific and computational methods of analysis can be applied to research questions in humanities subjects.

Full textAbstract:
The Bible records several versions of the Israelite festival calendar, including accounts in Exod 23; 34; Lev 23; Num 28-9; Deut 16; and Ezek 45. The festivals, as depicted in the various texts, have many commonalities; however, there are also differences. Some of the often cited differences in the festival calendar texts include: fixed dates v. dates based upon the harvest, local v. regional offering locations, spring v. fall beginning of the year, some accounts place an agricultural offering prior to the ripening of the harvest, the combination of two named rites into a larger ritual complex, the mention of simultaneous rites in different locations of the same text, and some festivals are named in one location and unnamed in others. Scholars have explored these similarities and differences arguing that the various calendars were written by different sources (authors/redactors) at different times in Israelite history. The current project provides a comparative analysis between Lev 23 and the second-millennium Akkadian multi-month festival calendar from Syria (Emar 446). The methodology included an investigation of the form, outline, and literary structures evident in each text. In addition, ritual aspects expressed in each text including: sacred time, sacred space, sacred objects, ritual participants, ritual sound, and ritual smell are explored to better understand the broader context, purpose, audience, and evidence oftextual traditions. After a review of each text and the contextual material, this study argues that Lev 23 may preserve an early second-millennium West Semitic ritual tradition.

Full textAbstract:
This study is concerned with reconstructing patterns in the description of mental distress, disturbance, and disorder in diagnostic descriptions from medical texts recorded in Akkadian from the first millennium BCE. In the service of this aim, the study also offers a theoretical framework for the approach to mental disorder in Akkadian medical diagnostic texts. With a few exceptions, previous studies of mental disorder in the Akkadian medical tradition have relied in large part on the method of retrospective diagnosis, which, for reasons to be set out, can be a problematic methodology. This study offers an alternative framework that defines objects of inquiry that can be meaningfully applied to the Akkadian sources. This framework incorporates principles from the fields of the history, philosophy, and anthropology of medicine and takes into account the type of information recorded in the Akkadian medical diagnostic texts. Organised around three core symptoms of ašuštu "Depression", hīp libbi "Heartbreak", and ṭēmu šanû/nakāru "The mind alters/changes", this study investigates the occurrences of these terms and expressions in the Diagnostic Handbook to determine an initial repertoire of symptoms that recur with these. These recurring symptoms are taken to reflect patterns in the description of mental symptoms and are supplemented with medical therapeutic texts, especially those for ghost- and witchcraft-induced illness. Mental symptoms organised with the core symptoms of this study are primarily expressed through the paradigms of change and somatisation. The recurrence of these patterns reveals native paradigms in the expression of mental symptoms that can be explained with intercultural parallels and that begin to reveal the ways in which disorders with a strong cognitive and affective component were made comprehensible in a clinical context.

I cosiddetti "Grandi Inni e Preghiere" sono un gruppo di inni e preghiere dedicati a divinità, che spiccano nel corpus della letteratura accadica per complessità linguistica e originalità contenutistica. Le molte similarità stilistiche e formali, la prima e più evidente delle quali è la lunghezza di 200 versi o più, inducono a pensare che questi componimenti costituissero un corpus. I “Grandi inni” presentano tratti tipici del cosiddetto ‘hymnisch-epischer Dialekt’, e sono caratterizzati da numerose figure retoriche. Inoltre, sembrano aver subito numerose elaborazioni, e includono elementi sincretistici e prestiti da altri generi testuali. La lunghezza dei “Grandi inni” ha indotto alcuni studiosi a escludere che venissero recitati, ma il loro contesto e l’uso –se pratico o esclusivamente letterario- non sono ancora chiari. Dal punto di vista contenutistico, i concetti e le immagini espressi in questi componimenti sono vari e utili per comprendere meglio alcuni aspetti del pensiero mesopotamico: vi troviamo, infatti, elementi religiosi ed etici, problemi intellettuali e pratici.

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail se propose d’analyser les textes littéraires bilingues suméro-akkadiens du Ier millénaire av. J.-C. du point de vue de la méthodologie de traduction employée par les lettrés mésopotamiens. Pour cela, il est fait appel à la traductologie, la science qui s’intéresse aux méthodes de traduction, et tout particulièrement aux récentes études dans le domaine de l’herméneutique et de la linguistique, afin de comprendre les processus intellectuels ayant permis le passage d’une langue à une autre. Il s’agit de montrer en quoi la traduction mésopotamienne est le premier témoin d’une réflexion sur la traduction, le langage et la transmission du savoir dans l’histoire, tout en mettant en avant ses spécificités, dues notamment au système d’écriture cunéiforme, au contexte multilingue de la région, et à la mentalité des savants de l’époque, qui considéraient que tous les phénomènes de la nature pouvaient et devaient être expliqués, et ce, au moyen de l’écriture. Le multilinguisme mésopotamien, une constante durant toute son histoire, présente des manifestations diverses, dont la plus originale est le bilinguisme suméro-akkadien, un bilinguisme exclusivement littéraire et religieux à partir du IIe millénaire av. J.-C., dans lequel la pratique de la traduction s’apparente plus à une forme de divination et de réflexion philosophique qu’à une traduction littérale ou précise. Cette traduction représente par ailleurs une forme particulière de transmission du savoir et une véritable réflexion sur la multiplicité des langues et leur rôle dans la transmission de textes ayant une grande valeur culturelle et idéologiqueThe present research seeks to analyze Sumero-Akkadian literary bilingualism in 1st millennium B.C. texts from the point of view of the scribes’ translation methods. In order to do so, I have used recent research in Translation Studies, a field in which different translation methods are analyzed and explained. I have specifically focused on recent linguistic and hermeneutic research applied to translation, in order to understand the intellectual processes allowing the passage from one language to another. This approach has allowed me to show how Mesopotamian translation is truly the first witness to a reflection on translation, language in general, and the transmission of knowledge, while taking into account its specificities, such as the importance of the cuneiform writing system, the region’s multilingualism, and the mentalities of the late period scholars, who believed that any natural phenomenon could and had to be explained in writing. Multilingualism existed in Mesopotamia throughout its entire history, but Sumero-Akkadian bilingualism was a specific kind of bilingualism, used exclusively in literary and religious texts from the IInd millennium B.C. onwards. Sumero-Akkadian translation can therefore be compared to divination or philosophy, and did not seek to be precise or literal. It also represented a unique way of transmitting knowledge and a unique understanding of the multiplicity of languages and their importance in the transmission of ancient texts, which had both cultural and ideological value

Full textAbstract:
L'étendue géographique concernée par cette étude est la Mésopotamie ancienne qui couvrait à son extension maximum l'Irak, la Syrie, l'Anatolie, et l'ouest de l'Iran. Les dialectes arabes utilisés ici sont donc avant tout ceux d'Irak et de Syrie, mais d'autres dialectes sont mentionnés comme les dialectes libanais ou yéménites. Il s'agit donc de rechercher et d'analyser les emprunts à l'akkadien dans ces dialectes, afin de retracer leur trajet depuis le IIIème millénaire avant l'ère chrétienne. Les langues susceptibles de servir d'intermédiaire sont l'araméen , le syriaque, l'hébreu et le persan, mais d'autres langues comme les dialectes néo-araméens sont également citées. Certains champs sémantiques plus riches en emprunts de ce genre ont été choisis au préalable, notamment ceux de l'agriculture et des techniques artisanales. La diversité des sources reste problématique et nécessite une méthodologie adaptée, car l'on n'étudie pas de manière similaire un texte akkadien et un conte irakien. L'analyse linguistique des données devrait ainsi permettre de dégager des règles phonologiques et morphologiques régissant le phénomène d'emprunt entre les langues sémitiques, et également d'en préciser la nature. Enfin, les données seront replacées dans leur contexte culturel et historique, ce qui permettra de préciser la notion d'emprunt, et plus largement d'illustrer la constitution du lexique de ces langues à l'échelle régionaleThe geographical span of this study is ancient Mesopotamia at its greatest extension, which means Iraq, Syria, Anatolia and Western Iran. Iraqi and Syrian Arabic are thus the main dialects used in this study but other Arabic dialects will be mentioned, such as Lebanese and Yemeni Arabic. The aim of this work is to search for and analyse potential borrowings (loanwords) to Akkadian in these dialects, in order to trace back their origin from the IIIrd millenium B. C. Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew and Persian are the languages that might serve as intermediaries in this process, but other languages such as Neo-Aramaic will be mentioned. A choice has been made among the semantic fields that could be the richest in borrowings, like agriculture and traditional crafts (pottery, weaving). The diversity of the sources remains a problem that requires an adequate methodology : obviously, an akkadian text cannot be studied like an Iraqi folk song. The linguistic analysis of the data should help to shed light on the phonological and morphological rules at work in the process of borrowing between semitic languages, and thus help to specify the nature of this process. Eventually, the date will be analysed in its cultural and historical background, which will help qualify the notion of "borrowing", and in a larger perspective illustrate the constitution of the lexicon of these languages on a regional scale

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Iraqi State Department of Antiquities and the Polish expedition under the late Janusz Meuszynski and Richard Sobolewski, assisted later by Samuel Paley (Buffalo), set themselves the goal to locate, identify and to reconstruct the original arrangement of the reliefs from the Northwest Palace of Ashurnasirpal II. The majority of the reliefs are scattered all over the world in museums and institutions from Leningrad to Los Angeles, mainly due to the style of archaeologists and opportunists from the previous century who removed these reliefs from the Nimrud Mound. Section A of the dissertation attempted to complement the achievements of the combined Iraqi-Polish-American effort through the study of the "Standard" Inscription which was carved across and in between the reliefs of Ashurnasirpal. Subsequently, this somewhat audacious and time-consuming project was launched to trace the present whereabouts of those reliefs outside Iraq in a bid to study each text seperately. This was achieved in the end in that the inscriptions were studied from the original sculptures or from photos provided by the institutions in whose care the reliefs are at present. Each exemplar was eventually copied, transliterated and reproduced in its original room setting of the North-Vest Palace. In order to reproduce each text as an entity in its own right and in an accessible way (in direct opposition to previous attempts whereby a myriad of text-critical data was simply reduced to footnotes), available computer software initially had to be experimented with before a suitable program could be decided upon. Eventually T 3 of TOI Software Research was selected on mainly user-friendly and font-adaptability grounds. The interested scholar is now in a position to see at a glance how the texts, which were originally engraved onto sculptured slabs in the close proximity of one room, vary from one another. The remainder of Ashurnasirpal's textual corpus was treated in Section B. These inscriptions were studied and collated on the original monuments in London and New York. The texts were finally collated, revised and transliterated in a standardized form from photographs, provided by the institutions in whose care they are at present. In order to facilitate the progress of research on the Ashurnasirpal inscriptions, it was decided to make all the textual material available in the electronic medium of two 2.1 megabyte floppy disks (cf. the envelope attached to the back cover). The data is stored in T 3 volumes (73VOLS). The latest T 3 version (2.3) has a conversion program for converting T 3 documents to YordPerfect 5.0, making the material of this research more accessible to non T 3 users. Thanks to the initiatives of the Tubinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients Project which provides the critical historian with a much needed historico-geographical footing, the unique summary of conquests or so-called standard titulary sections in the royal inscriptions of Ashurnasirpal were examined in search of a historically verifiable methodology. These passages were collected not only from the Calah inscriptions, but especially from other provenances like Ashur and Nineveh on the assumption that a definite correlation exists between geographic references and the chronological sequences of events in the Ashurnasirpal II royal inscriptions. These "summary" sections provide a useful summary in titular form of the king's conquests comprising essentially geographic material. They emanated stylistically from the preceding sections on the king's genealogy, titulary, filiation and theological legitimation. They were in a constant state of editorial flux impending on the successes of the king's expansionist policies. The modern historian can now utilize these summaries, or historico-political titles, not only as a fixed point of departure, historically speaking, but also as a normative tool to unravel biased military reports of the king's military activities in both the annalistic and display type of inscriptions. A new approach on the historical reconstruction of the reign of Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 B.C.) with its implications for the study of the Old Testament can now be anticipated.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Irakse Direktoraat van Rultuursake en 'n Poole ekspedisie onder aanvoering van wyle Janusz Meuszynski en Ryszard Sobolewski, later bygestaan deur Samuel Paley (Buffalo), het hulle dit ten doel gestel om al Assurnasirpal II se reliefs, wat sedert die vorige eeu deur skattejagters en argeoloe van die Nimrud Tel (naby Mosul in die noorde van Irak) verwyder is en na museums en instellings van Leningrad tot in Los Angeles versprei is, op te spoor. Met behulp van hoof saaklik die ikonografie-is die reliefs se oorspronklike plekke in die beroemde Noordwes-Paleis vasgestel en grafies gerekonstrueer. Afdeling A van hierdie dissertasie poog om hierdie projek aan te vul deur al die II "Standaard" Inskripsies wat bo-oor en tussen die reliefs aangebring was, te bestudeer. 11 Yervolgens is die moeisame proses aangepak om hierdie reliefs in museums oor die hele wereld op te spoor, die inskripsies direk of vanaf foto's te kollasioneer, te kopieer, te translitereer en in hul oorspronklike vertrekskonteks weer te gee. Die formaat waarin die transliterasies van die inskripsies uiteindelik weergegee moes word, is uiteindelik deur middel van TCI Software Research se T 3 bemeester. Die formaat waarin die tekste weergegee is in hierdie dissertasie, vergemaklik die bestudering van individuele tekste sowel as die vergelyking van die teksvariante in die groter paleiskonteks, deurdat die tekste gegroepeer is ooreenkomstig die oorspronklike posisies van die reliefs teen die mure van die onderskeie vertrekke van die paleis. In Afdeling B is die oorblywende tekskorpus van Assurnasirpal behandel. Die inskripsies is op die oorspronklike monumente, stelas en tablette in hoof saaklik Londen en New York bestudeer, gekollasioneer en die transliterasies is hersien en gestandaardiseer. Dit bring vervolgens mee dat die tekskorpus van Assurnasirpal II in die elektronies-toeganklike formaat van T S -volumes beskikbaar is vir Assirioloe, wat met behulp van die rekenaartegnologie navorsing op die Assurnasirpal tekste wil doen. Die nuwe 2.3 weergawe van 7 3 beskik oor die moontlikheid om 3 -volumes en -leers om te skakel in YordPerfect 5.0 dokumente, wat dus_inligtingsherwinning, data-onttrekking en ander dergelike funksies van die rekenaartegnologie op spykerskriftekste verder vergemaklik. Al die teksmateriaal is vir die doel op twee 2.1 megagreep slapskywe gestoor in 73-volumes en is beskikbaar in die koevert, wat aan die agterblad van die dissertasie vasgeheg is. Ten slotte is 'n nuwe metodologie, gebore uit die inisiatiewe van en blootstelling aan die Tubinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients Projek, op die proef gestel. Kortliks berus hierdie benadering op die aanname dat daar 'n histories-verifieerbare korrelasie tussen geografiese gegewens en kronologiese ordening in die Assiriese Koningsgeskrifte bestaan. Die betrokke gedeelte in die koningsgeskrifte, waarin 'n opsomming van die koning se verowerde gebiede (en dus geografiese data) stilisties voortvloei uit die voorafgaande genealogie, titulatuur en teologiese legitimasie, is vervolgens versamel en gegroepeer uit tekste wat Assur, Nineve en Nimrud insluit. Hierdie opsommende titulatuur is op 'n gereelde basis deur die amptelike Assiriese skrywers geredigeer ooreenkomstig die welslae van die koning se buitelandse beleid van ekspansionisme. Vervolgens kan die moderne historikus hierdie beknopte historiese gegewens in die opsommende titulatiqr, gesuiwer van tipiese Assiriese propaganda, as 'n vaste normatiewe basis aanwend om die breedvoerige annalistiese beskrywings van die koning se veldtogte krities te bestudeer. 'n Betroubare rekonstruksie van die regeringstyd van Assurnasirpal II (883-859 v.C.) en die implikasies wat dit vir die flu Testament inhou, kan vervolgens in die vooruitsig gestel word.

This thesis interrogates the extent to which a range of written variation in the Old Babylonian letters from the central area of Mesopotamia relate significantly to variables denoting temporal-historical (diachronic), spatial-geographical (diatopic) or individual- situational heterogeneity. The object of the study is Old Babylonian, an ancient language whose large written record embodies a widespread practice of writing in a sizeable array of genres, including cursive and personal scripts, that flourished in a time of substantial geo-political changes.
Some dialectal varieties of Old Babylonian have been already identified and described in detail, particularly those of the peripheral areas. However, despite early attempts to define broad linguistic dialectal areas there is not yet a full description of, the palaeographic, orthographic and linguistic traits of variability within the central Mesopotamian area.
The present study analyses the documented variation of a set of orthographic and linguistic variables as they transpire in a corpus of Old Babylonian correspondence (ACCOB) created for that purpose, which contains grammatical as well as extralinguistic annotations of temporal, geographical or social characteristics of the producers or the consumers of the letters.
The combination of a quantitative approach to the distribution of variables and a micro- level study of the documents demonstrates that, despite limitations in the type of extra- linguistic information available and the restrictions of a research project focused solely on the analysis of edited transliterations of letters, a number of orthographic and linguistic features associate significantly to regional and/or temporal coordinates, sometimes revealing an intertwined multicausality of factors. On the other hand, the alleged sociolinguistic or diaphasic saliency of epistolary documents from the central royal administration needs to be redefined under the perspective of the heterogeneous landscape of the Old Babylonian language.
The findings for the variables analysed in the study present a more nuanced description of the Old Babylonian language and its orthographic practices that may serve as a basis for further research in the area.Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht, inwieweit eine Auswahl von schriftlichen Variationen in den altbabylonischen Briefen aus Mittelmeesopotamien signifikante linguistische Variablennutzen, die zeitlich-historische (diachronische), räumlich- geographische (diatopische) oder individuell-situative Heterogenität bezeichnen. Gegenstand der Studie ist das Altbabylonische. Diese antike Sprache verkörpert durch den den großen Umfang der schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen eine weit verbreitete Praxis des Schreibens in einer signifikanten Reihe von Genres, einschließlich Skripte in Schreibschrift, die in einer Zeit der substanziellen geopolitischen Veränderungen ihre Hochzeit hatte. Einige altbabylonische Dialekte, insbesondere aus den Randgebieten, wurden bereits im Detail identifiziert und beschrieben. Trotz früherer Versuche, breite sprachliche Dialektgebiete zu definieren, gibt es jedoch noch keine vollständige Beschreibung der paläographischen, orthographischen und sprachlichen Variabilität innerhalb des zentralmesopotamischen Gebietes. Die vorliegende Untersuchung analysiert die dokumentierte Variation einer Reihe von orthographischen und sprachlichen Variablen, wie sie sich in einem zu diesem Zweck erstellten Korpus der alttbabylonischen Korrespondenz (ACCOB) manifestieren, der grammatikalische und außersprachlichen Annotationen zeitlicher, geographischer oder sozialer Merkmale der Produzenten oder Konsumenten der Briefe enthält. Die Kombination aus einem quantitativen Ansatzes für die Verteilung der Variablen und einer Mikrostudie der Dokumente zeigt, dass trotz der Einschränkungen in der Art der außersprachlichen Informationen und der Beschränkungen eines Forschungsprojekts, das sich ausschließlich auf die Analyse der editierten Transskriptionen von Briefen konzentriert, eine Reihe von orthographischen und sprachlichen Merkmalen signifikant mit regionalen und / oder zeitlichen Koordinaten assoziierrt werden können,. Manchmal offenbart diese eine ineinandergreifende Multikausalität von Faktoren. Gleichzeitig muss die angebliche soziolinguistische oder diaphasische Salienz der Briefdokumente der zentralen königlichen Verwaltung unter dem Blickwinkel der heterogenen Landschaft der altbabylonischen Sprache neu definiert werden. Die Ergebnisse der in der Studie analysierten Variablen sind eine differenzierte Beschreibung der altbabylonischen Sprache und ihrer orthographischen Praktiken, die als Grundlage für weitere Forschungen in diesem Gebiet dienen kann.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a pour ambition de poser les bases d'une approche linguistique synchronique du système verbal akkadien pour la période paléobabylonienne (circa XVIIIème siècle av. J. -C. ) , fondée sur l'analyse en morphèmes. Si depuis sa redécouverte voilà près d'un siècle et demi, grâce au déchiffrement de l'écriture cunéiforme qui servit la noter, cette langue, fit, il est vrai, l'objet de nombreuses approches grammaticales, force est de reconnaître que les tentatives d'une véritable analyse mettant en oeuvre les principes de la commutation, développés par la linguistique structuraliste, ne furent jamais vraiment tentés. C'est pourquoi, telle est la perspective que nous nous sommes fixés pour ce travail. Une telle approche trouvant son intérêt dans un renouvellement complet des descriptions proposées par les grandes minimales entrant dans la morphologie du verbe babylonien, sans oublier qu'elle ouvre également la voie à une autre approche comparatiste des différentes langues sémitiques. Pour ce faire, après avoir rappelé les bases descriptives du verbe babylonien inventoriées par la tradition grammaticale, nous avons tenté d'identifier les différents segments correspondant aux catégories traditionnelles avant de considérer si chacun de ces segments est ou non associable à un signifié et constitue ainsi le signifiant d'un morphème.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – is to understand life brokenly. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the narrative of life. It records the full cycle of the nerve and aplomb of youth, of the doubt and crisis of midlife, of the acceptance and quiescience of maturity. Moreover, this understanding is a broken understanding. It starts with the clay tablets that are broken in a literal sense of the word. Further, the narrative is a narrative of broken-ness – the story ends in tears. A man has lost his last chance of obtaining life everlasting. Yet he manages to recuperate despite his failure. The first part of this thesis examined the world of Gilgamesh. Initially he was known as the Sumerian king Bilgames. He makes his appearance in the form of oral compositions that are recited or sung in the royal courts of kings during the Sumerian period: sheer entertainment, nothing really serious. At his side is his loyal servant Enkidu who supports his master in everything he does. Akkadian gradually ousts Sumerian as vernacular, yet the latter continues to dominate as the language of culture and court. Bilgames survives the reign of the Sargonic dynasty, and even revives during the glorious Ur III period of Shulgi and of Ur-Nammu. Sumerian Bilgames-poems are recorded in writing. However, by the time that Hammurapi draws up his legal codex, the Sumerian Bilgames is known as the vibrant Akkadian king Gilgamesh. His servant Enkidu is elevated to the status of friend. Together they defy men, gods, monsters. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh goes even further in search of life everlasting. He reaches Uta-napishtim the Distant in order to learn the secret of eternal life. The optimism of the Old Babylonian Kingdom is replaced by the reflection and introspection of the Middle period. Life is difficult. Life is complex. The Gilgamesh Epic is once again re-interpreted and supplemented by a prologue and an epilogue: both begin and end at the same place, at the walls of Uruk. Here Gilgamesh looks back and forward to his life and contemplates about the meaning of life in general. The second part of this thesis dealt more specifically with the story – the literary aspects of the Epic. Genette’s theory illuminated several interesting literary devices with regards to the rhythm and pace of the narrative. However, much of the reflective nature of the Epic was also revealed. There were moments of looking forward, and looking backward: after Gilgamesh broke down in tears at the end of the Epic, he suddely gained perspective on life. Somehow a broken narrative focused into a meaningful whole that may just make future sense. Jauss’s theory illuminated why Gilgamesh refuses to be forgotten, why he is once again alive and well in the twenty first century. Although he was buried in the ruins of Nineveh for a thousand plus years, he is suddenly back on the scene – and not for academic reasons only. Not only scholars of the Ancient Near East take an interest in the old Epic, but also people from all sectors of life. Somehow Gilgamesh seems to respond to questions that are asked even by those who understand nuclear physics – but who grapple with the paradox of living meaningfully. Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – understands life.Thesis (DLitt)--University of Pretoria, 2006.

Les deux codes de lois de l'époque babylonienne ancienne consacrent plusieurs rubriques à la nipûtum, elles ont été transcrites, traduites et commentées à de multiples reprises. D’autre part, des dizaines de textes éparpillés, auxquels il n'est fait que de vagues allusions dans les commentaires, abordent le même sujet; chaque fois qu'ils sont cités, ils ne le sont que parce qu'ils peuvent éclairer un peu le sens des codes .Nous avons décidé d'agir en sens contraire de la recherche traditionnelle et de proposer une définition de la nipûtum grâce aux textes de la pratique .Les codes semblent en effet traiter de l'anormal plutôt que du normal .La nipûtum n'y est définie qu'en termes d'abus :saisie non justifiée ou mauvais traitements pouvant entraîner la mort de la personne saisie .De plus, ils ne parlent de la nipûtum qu'en cas de dettes et seulement pour des opérations entre particuliers, mettant face à face un banquier tout puissant et un citoyen pauvre en difficulté .
L'institution des nipûtum se met tout d'abord en valeur par sa grande extension chronologique, elle est présente dès le début des dynasties amorrites jusqu’au dernier roi de Babylone, soit pendant trois siècles .En ce qui concerne la répartition géographique, elle est en usage dans l'ensemble de la Mésopotamie, du nord au sud, de Sippar à Ur, et d'est en ouest, même dans des zones tout à fait éloignées, comme Mari .

L’intérêt historique suscité par la richesse des vestiges provenant d’Emar et d’Ougarit ainsi que de plusieurs autres cités de l’époque, notamment Alalaḫ, nous a poussé à nous intéresser à la répartition des pouvoirs en Syrie à l’époque du Bronze Récent, question pour laquelle peu d’études des synthèse ont été consacrées à l’heure actuelle.Nous concentrerons notre étude sur plusieurs villes à l’époque du Bronze Récent, depuis le début de la deuxième moitié de deuxième millénaire jusqu’au début de XIIe siècle av. J.-C.Certes, Il existe un pouvoir religieux, économique ; mais le plus souvent la notion de pouvoir sous-entend la présence d’une puissance politique à laquelle est soumise une communauté. Nous distinguerons donc les termes d’ « autorité » et de « pouvoir », ce dernier devant être considéré comme l’application et la manifestation de l’autorité.Les textes anciens représentent pour notre étude une documentation directe. Les tablettes provenant des cités syriennes de cette époque sont au cœur de notre étude. Il s’agit surtout de tablettes cunéiformes écrites en akkadien.Nous pensons qu’une recherche analytique et comparative nous aidera de mieux connaître les différents types de pouvoir en Syrie, de repérer les divers détenteurs du pouvoir au Bronze Récent et de définir les caractéristiques propres à l’organisation politique syrienne durant cette même périodeThe historical interest generated by the rich archaeological remains from Emar and Ugarit as well as several other cities of the era, including Alalah, encouraged us to take an interest in the distribution of power in Syria at the Late Bronze Age, a question for which few synthesis studies have been devoted today. We focus our study on several cities during the Late Bronze Age, since the beginning of the second half of the second millennium to the early twelfth century BC.Certainly, there is a religious power and economic power, but more often the notion of power implies the presence of a political power which is subject to a community. We therefore distinguish the terms “authority” and “power”, the latter to be considered the application and demonstration of authority. The ancient texts represent a direct documentation for this study. The akkadian cuneiform tablets from the Syrian cities of this period are in the middle of our research.We believe that a comparative and analytical research will help us better understand the different types of power in Syria, to identify the various rulers of the Late Bronze Age and define the characteristics of the Syrian political organization during this period

This research concerns concrete aspects of death, especially the different ways in which Mesopotamians died and the acts that followed death, such as funerary practices and rites, and commemorative ceremony. We are also interested in different feelings, values, and uses attributed to death by the living, especially political or social

Ville d’Iran occidental, située dans l’actuelle plaine du Khuzistan au pied des monts Zagros, Suse tout au long de son histoire a été soumise à la double influence de la Mésopotamie et de la confédération élamite. C’est dans ce contexte d’alternance que s’est développée une civilisation complexe et originale. La compréhension de celle-ci passe par l’examen des actes d’achat qui ont été découverts lors des fouilles dirigées par R. De Mecquenem, effectuées entre 1927 et 1928 dans le secteur dit de la «Ville royale». Le corpus se compose de 99 textes rédigés en akkadien, sur des tablettes d’argiles non cuites, dont une première publication a été réalisée par V. Scheil, assyriologue de la mission dès 1930. Cette étude s’organise autour de deux axes principaux. L’analyse juridique complète du formulaire permet tout d’abord de mettre en évidence son évolution ainsi que sa structuration progressive. La comparaison des schémas ainsi obtenus avec ceux des principaux sites mésopotamiens et de la ville élamite de Kabnak, a contribué à l’établissement de points de ressemblance et de dissemblance attestant de l’originalité du droit susien. A l’intérieur de cette analyse, une attention particulière a été portée aux clauses faisant intervenir des notions élamites, de manière à essayer d’en donner l’interprétation la plus précise possible. Le second volet est consacré à la détermination des caractéristiques de la société susienne à partir des données contenues dans ces contrats. Pour établir un portrait de la ville aussi réaliste que possible, les indications fournies par les achats ont été comparées et complétées par la consultation de la totalité du corpus juridique, ainsi que par l’étude des données archéologiques et ethnologiques. Le croisement de ces diverses sources offre une image satisfaisante des cadres de la société susienne pendant la première moitié du deuxième millénaireSusa is a city of western Iran located in the current plain of Khuzestan close to the Zagros mounts. Throughout its history, Susa was subjected to the double influence of Mesopotamia and Elamite Confederation. In such a dual context has grown a complex and original civilization. This survey is based on the acts of purchase which were discovered during excavations realised by R. De Mecquenem, between 1927 and 1928, in the so-called «Royal City» area. The corpus is made up of 99 texts written in akkadian on uncooked clay shelves, a first publication of which was accomplished by V. Scheil, assyriologist of mission from 1930. This study is organized around two main parts. In a first part, the complete legal analysis of the contracts made it possible to highlight their evolution like their progressive structuring. The results have been compared with those known for the main Mesopotamians sites like for the elamite city of Kabnak. This showed some points of resemblance and dissimilarity attesting of the originality of the Susan right. Within this analysis, a detailed attention was paid to the contracts utilizing elamite concepts, so as to try to give the most precise possible interpretation of it. In a second part, the data contained in these contracts are analysed in order to obtain the characteristics of the Susan society. To establish a realistic portrait of the city, the indications provided by the purchases were compared and supplemented by the consultation of the whole legal corpus, and by the study of the archaeological and ethnological data. The crossing of these various sources offers a complete image of the Susan society during first half of the second millennium

Full textAbstract:
The present work aims at describing the formation of the Semitic verb, with close reference to the Akkadian period. Thus, I will provide a detailed analysis of the basic conjugation of the Old Babylonian dialect. During the discourse, it will emerge that the basic conjugational forms (i.e., the perfective iprVs and the stative parVs) come from pre-Semitic nominal and adjectival elements that have gradually entered into a fully-fledged verbal system. More specifically, it will be argued that the Akkadian iprVs develops from a nominal nucleus to which personal pronouns are attached (later, it will be used for the conjugation of the fientive verbs), whereas parVs is said to be originally engaged as the predicative form of adjectives (later, it will be used for the conjugation of the state verbs). The specific formal modifications, like the coalescence of the nominal and pronominal elements into one and semantic redefinitions underlying the verbalization process will be shown in detail.

Khait, Ilya. "Typology of Old Babylonian Divination Apodoses." 2017. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A17263.
Full textAbstract:
This work aims to provide a thematic typology for Old Babylonian divination apodoses, predictions known from early lists of omens and models from Ancient Mesopotamia and the Levant. The primary objective of this study is to present the Old Babylonian divination apodoses as a system, placing each prediction in its appropriate context, together with thematically related material from other compendia. There are altogether 272 reported Old Babylonian compendium-tablets and inscribed clay models, dedicated to thirteen different divinatory practices, of which 157 are examined in this work.
Methodologically, the work combines elements of a traditional Assyriological edition and a motif index. The typology is to provide a systematic approach to the study of the apodosis from the perspective of the problem it was meant to answer. Such an approach would lead to a better understanding of the apodosis as an element of a comprehensive system of beliefs, shed light on the early development of the Mesopotamian divinatory written tradition, and help bring to clearer order the imprints of hopes and fears of the Old Babylonian society, that apodoses bear.
As a part of the Old Babylonian divination corpus remained beyond the scope of this study, the choice of material has regard to tablets published solely in copies, as well as older editions that can be improved and extended. The bulk of the edited texts were also newly examined and subjected to philological analysis. This approach has yielded a solid number of new reading and interpretations, included in this study. Philological commentaries, together with brief notes on peculiarities of script and language are likewise a crucial part of this research.
The introduction starts with a synopsis of the research in the field and offers an overview of the sources. Some basic components of the apodosis, such as problem, motif, outcome, and other elements, important for the classification are also explored here. Additionally, this part of the work examines incidental aspects of space and time, as well as involved characters.
The typology itself has 2,367 entries in total, which amount to 2,675 attestations of full apodoses or 3,362 attestations of simple apodoses and parts of compound apodoses counted altogether. The classification of the material is developed on three levels. The twenty-eight sections define the sphere of interest in general. Subsections address particular problems or aspects within the wider topic. The lowest level of the classification, the motif formula, constitutes an exact prediction in terms of motif, involved characters, and other peculiarities. In addition, the work includes a catalog of Old Babylonian compendia and a concordance of predictions in the relevant manuscripts.
The thematically organized catalog of predictions is to benefit future theoretical studies on Mesopotamian divination, culture, and realia, as well as to assist textological work on divination-related cuneiform materials.
