Full textStudying the Army in Babylonia between the 6th and the 4th century BCE consists less of a "war study” than an essay on economic, social and institutional history as Cuneiform documentation originating from this period consist essentially of administrative and economic texts. The composition of the military which allowed the emergence and expansion of the Neo Babylonian empire (622 -539 BCE), is studied from the perspective of three social backgrounds which contributed to its establishment: The temples which provided the royal army with support troops, issued from their oblates, a category of individuals denied of freedom who were dedicated to the temple. Some of them were trained in handling weapons. The Babylonian traditional elites who paid a fee to compensate for the service. Their participation developed mainly from the Achaemenid Period Military colonists who were non-Babylonian soldiers receiving an allotment from the Crown in exchange of a fee paid in kind and a duty of military service From 539 BCE onward, the Babylonian army was probably dismantled following the Babylonian conquest by Cyrus the Great and the region was integrated to the new Achaemenid empire (539 -331 BCE). Nonetheless, institutional structures enabling its establishment were maintained or developed in the case of the contribution of the notability, providing soldiers but also workers travelling to Persia to participate in the large construction works of the Royal administration. In a similar way, the Achaemenid kings made use of the rich agricultural lands in order to pursue the policy consisting of allocating lands to soldiers

Full textTaking oath is a human act presents in all historical societies. On this basis, this doctoral dissertation dedicated to the oath in the Old Babylonian period (2002-1595 BC) aims at analysing it from its grammatical, religious and social aspects. Thanks to a detailed study of a heterogeneous corpus that covers all the Mesopotamian cities of that time, we establish the grammatical components of the formulas of the oath, we follow their evolution over time and we observe the regional peculiarities detected. Establishing the grammatical structure of the oath thus makes it possible to better define it as a religious act which impacts society. The oath turns out to be the point of conjunction between religion, justice and royal power. In these three areas, it is used consistently to maintain a balance between human relationships, both inside the kingdoms and internationally. This philological and historical study of sources analyses the Old Babylonian oath as a mirror of a society relevant for its complexity

Full textThis work presents the first complete and annotated edition of the texts from the Gallabu family archive, from the city of Ur in southern Babylonia. It is a family of prebendaries-barbers that left the longest known private archive in the first century BC. Documents of the archive cover over 260 years and include Neo-Babylonian, Achaemenid, and Hellenistic periods. The thesis provides an insight into the nature of the Gallabu archive and examines the history of the family and its heritage. The family of Gallabu is considered within a political and socio-economic context in order to study different aspects of the socio-economic life of the urban elite of the city of Ur in the first millennium BC, the second most important city in southern Babylonia at the time

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is an attempt to investigate whether the Babylonians of the periods prior to the 6th Century BCE possessed an interest in the workings of celestial bodies reaching beyond the scope of what would today be regarded as astrology – the idea that the movements of the stars were signs from the gods, foretelling the future. The objective is thus to see whether it is possible that at least some of the texts recording the phenomena present in the night sky could have been compiled for what could be termed a more “scientific” purpose: recording the stars out of an interest in how the universe works. It will be acknowledged that to the people of the time, the formal study of the movements of astral bodies, as well as any supernatural implications they might hold, were not separate fields. This, of course, stands in contrast to the differentiated modern schools of astronomy and astrology. In order to investigate the possibility that to some individuals the former took precedence (and by implication that they possessed what could be termed a more “scientific” frame of mind), selected sources, particularly the different sections of the text known as MUL.APIN, will be analysed for signs of content and approaches more befitting to the field of generalised study than that of divination. It will be found, however, that although some texts do show signs of study isolated from divination (through, for example, the inclusion of detail which would have no relevance to the aforementioned), others, which at first glance appear purely astronomical, contain information contrary to what would be expected of a thorough investigation of visible reality. This includes idealised dates and intentionally falsified information, inserted to have the recorded universe appear to conform to conservative ideology. In order to make this point clearer, cosmological aspects of this ideology will be introduced even before the astronomical texts are analysed. Finally, it will be concluded that while scientific inclinations amongst the individuals recording the stars during this era was by no means the norm, there are indications that they were emerging in some. Though the field of Babylonian astral observations during this period cannot, as a whole, be classified as a science, does not mean that all its practitioners should be disqualified as scientific thinkers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is 'n poging om te ondersoek of die Babiloniërs van die periode voor die 6de eeu v.C. 'n belangstelling in die werking van die hemelliggame gehad het anders as wat vandag as astrologie beskou sou word – die idee dat die bewegings van die sterre tekens van die gode was wat die toekoms voorspel. Die doel is om te kyk of dit moontlik is dat ten minste sommige van die tekste wat die verskynsels van die naghemel aanteken vir 'n meer “wetenskaplike” doeleinde geskryf is: die dokumenteer van die sterre uit ‟n belangstelling in hoe die heelal werk. Daar word erken dat vir die mense van destyds die formele studie van die bewegings van hemelliggame, asook enige bonatuurlike implikasies wat hulle mag inhou, nie afsonderlike velde was nie. Dit is in teenstelling met die onderskeie moderne skole van astronomie en astrologie. Ten einde die moontlikheid te ondersoek dat vir sommige individue eersgenoemde voorrang geniet het (en by implikasie dat hulle 'n meer “wetenskaplike” denkwyse besit het), word geselekteerde bronne, veral die verskillende afdelings van die teks bekend as MUL.APIN, geanaliseer vir aanduidings van inhoud en benaderings wat meer van toepassing op die wetenskaplike veld as dié van divinasie is. Daar is egter bevind dat alhoewel sommige tekste aanduidings toon van studie wat onderskeibaar is van divinasie (byvoorbeeld, deur die insluiting van besonderhede wat van geen toepassing op die voorgemelde is nie), bevat ander, wat aanvanklik suiwer astronomies voorkom, inligting in teenstelling met wat van 'n deeglike ondersoek van die sigbare werklikheid verwag sou word. Dit sluit geïdealiseerde datums en opsetlik vervalste inligting in wat ingevoeg is om die aangetekende heelal skynbaar aan konserwatiewe ideologie te laat voldoen. Om hierdie punt duideliker te maak, word die kosmologiese aspekte van hierdie ideologie bekendgestel voor die astronomiese tekste geanaliseer word. Ten slotte, word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat ofskoon wetenskaplike neigings onder individue wat die sterre gedurende hierdie tydperk gedokumenteer het geensins die norm was nie, daar wel aanduidings is dat dit in sommige te voorskyn kom. Hoewel die veld van Babiloniese sterrewaarneming gedurende hierdie periode nie in sy geheel as 'n wetenskap geklassifiseer kan word nie, beteken dit nie dat al sy beoefenaars as wetenskaplike denkers gediskwalifiseer moet word nie.

Full textDie 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.

Entre 1971 e 1978 o artista plástico carioca Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) morou em Manhattan, Nova York. Batizada por Oiticica de Babylon, é durante sua estadia na cidade que ele investe grande parte de seu trabalho em um novo projeto: publicar uma série de textos escritos nesse período, em um livro cujo formato e conteúdo permaneceram em constante transformação ao longo dos anos, sem atingir um resultado final. Batizado com alguns nomes como Newyorkaises e Conglomerado, o projeto de publicação torna- se o epicentro da produção de Oiticica e, ao mesmo tempo, uma promessa não realizada. A Tese visa analisar a relação produtiva entre a obra de Oiticica e a escritura, além da forte presença da literatura em seus trabalhos e reflexões. A análise dessa relação percorrerá alguns espaços criativos desse escritor- leitor, como seu arquivo, seus escritos pessoais, cartas, cadernos e fontes de leitura por ele utilizadas. Ao apresentar e analisar documentos de pouca ou nenhuma divulgação escritos por Hélio Oiticica, a Tese pretende não só ampliar os debates sobre arte e literatura em geral como divulgar novas temáticas e possibilidades de pesquisa em relação à sua obra.
From 1971 to 1978, Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980), a native of Rio de Janeiro, lived in Manhattan. During his sojourn in New York, a city he referred to as Babylon, he put much of his effort into a new project: that of publishing a number of texts written in this period as a book whose format and content would constantly change throughout the years, never reaching a final result. Variously known as Newyorkaises and Conglomerado, the publication project became both the epicenter of Oiticica`s production and a promise that never came to fruition. This dissertation analyzes the relationship between Oiticica`s art and his writings and addresses the marked presence of literature in both his works and his reflections. The analysis of the relation between the two takes into account different manifestations of this writer/reader`s creativity, such as his archive, intimate writings, letters and notebooks, as well as his reading. By presenting and analyzing little-known or previously unpublished texts by Oiticica, this dissertation aims not only to broaden the scope of debates on art and literature in general but also to disseminate new themes and possibilities of research into Oiticica`s work.

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 .

Full textIn the first millennium BC, Babylon is the bigest city of Mesopotamia. lt is mostly regarded by the Babylonians and by contemporary historiography as the city of the gods, and as the most important sacred city. Facing this predominance of religion, one of the challenges of this work is to question the place left to the temporal king, and more generally, to political power in the city of BabyIon. This dissertation is divided into three points : how the temporal king fit into thecity of the eternal ruIer, city with sacred topography ? ln what BabyIon is on the basis of a sacred kingship ? And finally, what are the concrete manifestations of the temporal royal power in Babylon ? Based on the study of commemorative royal inscriptions, myths and documents issued from private and institutional archives, the aim of this study is to review and reassess the role of BabyIon as political capital, and attempts to achieve a rebalancing of the role of the temporalsovereign within the city of Marduk

Full textSeveral modes of production exist in first millennium BCE Babylonia (modem Iraq): wage-labour, slavery, different forms of dependency. My thesis is mainly focused on the study of the status and the activities of slaves and temple dependants, with the addition of Judean and West Semite deportees, forced by the neo-Babylonian to live and work in Mesopotamia after the conquest of Syria-Palestine. These three social groups have been analysed as different forms of slavery in the historiography. My aim is for a precise study of their economic activities, their part in several economic sectors (agriculture, trade, craftsmanship, building) in rural and urban context. I try to put this in contrast with the available legal documentation. Therefore, I try to show the theoretical boundaries of the statuses of slaves, dependants and deportees and how their legal analysis isn't sufficient. My dissertation aims for revealing the hierarchies present inside those three groups of labourers and the social dynamics at play. The making of a class of intermediary workers (slave agents, dependants having an administrative position, deportees investing capital ... ) is an important historical fact needing an analysis. Are there possibilities for social mobility and emancipation in their favour in first millennium BCE Babylonia? Answering this is one objective of my study, grounded in the perspective of an history of labour

Full textKeck, Elizabeth. "The Glory of Yahweh, Name Theology, and Ezekiel's Understanding of Divine Presence." Thesis, Boston College, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/3698.
Full textI contend that Ezekiel's portrait of the Glory represents an understanding of Yahweh's earthly presence that is markedly different from how the earthly divine presence is understood in Deuteronomistic Name theology. As formulated in Deuteronomy and maintained in the Deuteronomistic History, "Name theology" understands the divine earthly presence to be restricted to the "one place that Yahweh will choose," which is designated as the Jerusalem Temple. Contrary to traditional scholarly understanding, this does not divorce Yahweh from his Temple and place him in Heaven alone, and does not relegate the Temple to symbolic status only. Rather, Name theology not only affirms the divine presence in the Temple, but views it as the only legitimate location for that presence. From his position of exile, Ezekiel depicts the Glory with no exclusive connection to the Temple or the land; the Glory vacates the Temple to allow for its destruction and appears outside sanctified precincts in Babylonia, where God disputes the Jerusalemites' contention that the exiles are now far from him (Ezek 11:15-16). I maintain that Ezekiel's portrait of the Glory finds its inspiration in the Priestly account of the Exodus wanderings before the Tabernacle's existence; in Priestly tradition, this was the only time the Glory appeared outside sanctified precincts. These appearances occurred outside Israel, amidst dislocation, with no physical sanctuary - a situation homologous to Ezekiel's own

Gaertner, Lorraine. "The motives for the mesarum edict of King Ammiṣaduqa of the old Babylonian period : ethics, ego or economics?" Thesis, Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2698.
Full textAmmißaduqa, penultimate king of the Ôammurabi dynasty in the Old Babylonian period, reigned from 1646-1626 BCE, and issued a mēšarum edict which Finkelstein described as “a single tablet, inscribed with a most unique text of an importance for the socio-economic life of Babylonia second to no other.” It is essential to define ancient royal edicts within their cultural context. This thesis examines, within the broad legal, religious, political and social background of the Ancient Near East, the design of royal edicts, their aims, beneficiaries and legal implications. The primary goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the motives for the promulgation of mēšarum decrees within the ancient cultures, and in particular, the motives for Ammißaduqa’s first edict. There is a strong scholarly tendency to seek the motives in the economic faction, even likening this decree to a “modern-day economic stimulus package,” a type of “RDP”. Kraus noted that the first promulgation was designed and executed for ideological purposes, subsequent mēšarum edicts were economic emergency measures. Nel agreed that the proclamation of a mēšarum was part of the propaganda strategy to strengthen the royal administration and to legitimize its power. The mēšarum was not designed to bring prosperity, but to stimulate agricultural production and prevent uncontrolled urbanization. Olivier noted that the mēšarum was intended, not to reform the economic system, but to remedy the unbearable economic situation. The economic motive is therefore of prime importance for all subsequent edicts, although an overlapping of all three motives – ethics, ego and economy – is highly likely. The base-line conclusion is that the motive and the occasion are inseparable. The aim of this thesis was to produce sufficient evidence that king Ammißaduqa was primarily inspired by ethics and ego, and not economics, when declaring his first mēšarum edict.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the use of animals in Mesopotamian therapeutic practices. It explores the animal used as ingredient for the preparation of medications, as well as the animal, which took part in the healing rituals. The first part reviews the cuneiform sources available for the reconstruction of medical practices and offers an exploration of Mesopotamian fauna through an overview of the taxonomy and the symbolic values attached to animals. It also investigates the practical issues resulting from the use of animals in pharmacopoeia (supply, conservation, methods of implementation etc.). The second part of the study consists in establishing a catalogue of animals encountered in the cuneiform medical texts. It lists and highlights the therapeutic uses of each animal and explores the reasons for their use in specific pathological contexts. The third part is devoted to the cultural and intellectual context in which these scientific Mesopotamian tablets were written. On this occasion, the concepts of “secret” and “encryption” of knowledge are considered. The main interest of this third chapter consists of a presentation and a new proposal for Uruanna = maštakal. This text has been the subject of several assumptions, which question the use of animal ingredients in the pharmacopoeia
