Abstract:
Traiter de l'armée en Babylonie du VIe au IVe siècle av. n. è. consiste moins en une étude sur la guerre qu'en un essai d'histoire économique, sociale et institutionnelle, puisque la documentation cunéiforme produite à cette époque est constituée essentiellement de sources de la pratique. La nature de l'armée qui permit l'émergence et l'expansion de l'empire néo-babylonien (622-539 av. n. è.) a été étudiée à partir de trois milieux sociaux qui contribuaient à sa construction: Les temples qui fournissaient à l'armée royale des troupes d'appoint, formées par leurs oblats, une catégorie d'individus non libres qui leur avaient été dédiés, parmi lesquels certains étaient formés au maniement des armes. Les élites babyloniennes qui payaient une redevance en compensation du service, mais dont la participation se développe surtout à l'époque achéménide. Les colons militaires, des soldats souvent non babyloniens qui avaient reçu une parcelle allouée de la Couronne en échange d'une redevance en nature et d'une obligation de service militaire. À partir de 539 av. n. è. l'armée néo-babylonienne est démantelée suite à la conquête de Babylone par Cyrus le Grand et la région est intégrée au nouvel empire achéménide (539-331 av. 11.-è.). Cependant, les structures institutionnelles qui permettaient sa construction sont maintenues, voire développée dans le cas des notables, non plus uniquement pour fournir des soldats, mais aussi des travailleurs qui allaient se rendre en Perse participer aux grands chantiers organisés par l'administration royale. Pareillement, les souverains achéménides profitèrent du riche espace agricole pour poursuivre la politique d'attribution de terres aux soldats
Studying 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

Abstract:
Prêter serment est un acte humain propre à toutes les sociétés historiques. Sur cette base, ce travail doctoral dédié au serment à l’époque paléo-babylonienne (2002-1595 av. J.-C.) vise à analyser les aspects grammaticaux, religieux et sociaux qui le constituent. Grâce à une étude détaillée d’un corpus hétérogène qui couvre l’ensemble des villes mésopotamiennes de cette époque, on établit les composants des formules du serment, on suit leur évolution dans le temps et on observe les particularismes régionaux détectés. Établir la structure grammaticale du serment permet ainsi de mieux le définir en tant qu’acte religieux qui agit sur la société. Le serment se révèle être le point de conjonction entre religion, justice et pouvoir royal. Dans ces trois domaines, il est utilisé de manière constante afin de garder intact un équilibre entre les relations humaines, autant à l’intérieur des différents royaumes qu’au niveau international. Cette étude philologique et historique des sources analyse le serment paléo-babylonien comme miroir d’une société remarquable par sa complexité
Taking 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

Abstract:
La thèse présente la première édition complète et commentée des textes de l'archive de la famille Gallabu, une archive provenant de la ville d'Ur, au sud de la Babylonie. Il s'agit d'une famille de prébendiers-barbiers qui ont laissé la plus longue archive privée du Ier millénaire avant J.-C. Les documents de l'archive s'étalent sur 260 ans et couvrent les périodes néo-babylonienne, achéménide et hellénistique. La thèse présente une réflexion sur la nature de l'archive des Gallabu et étudie l'histoire particulière de la famille et de son patrimoine. La famille des Gallabu est placée par la suite dans un contexte politique et socio-économique plus large pour étudier de différents aspects de la vie socio-économique des notables urbains à Ur au Ier millénaire avant J.-C., la seconde ville méridionale la plus importante à cette époque
This 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

Gray, Jennifer Mary Knightley. "A study of Babylonian goal-year planetary astronomy." Thesis, Durham University, 2009. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/101/.

Full text
Abstract:
Throughout the Late Babylonian Period, Mesopotamian astronomers made nightly observations of the planets, Moon and stars. Based on these observations, they developed several different techniques for predicting future astronomical events. The present study aims to improve our understanding of a particular empirical method of prediction, which made use of planetary periods – a period of time over which a planet‘s motion recurs very closely – to predict that planet‘s future motion. Various planetary periods are referred to in many Late Babylonian astronomical texts. By collecting together these periods and analysing their effectiveness, it was found that, generally, the most effective of the planetary periods were those which were used in the production of a particular type of text known as a Goal-Year Text. The Goal-Year Texts contain excerpts of astronomical observational records, with the planetary records having been taken from particular observation years with these planetary periods in mind – such that each planet‘s motion will recur during the same, specific, future year. It has been suggested that they form an intermediate step towards the compilation of the non-mathematical predictive texts known as Almanacs and Normal Star Almanacs. An analysis of theoretically calculated dates of planetary events showed that, if the Goal-Year Texts were to be used as a source for making empirical predictions, particular corrections (specific to each planet) would need to be applied to the dates of the planetary records found in the Goal-Year Texts. These corrections take the form of regular corrections to the day of an event (a ―date correction‖), and more irregular corrections of ±1 month (a ―month shift‖). An extensive investigation of the Babylonian non-mathematical texts demonstrated that the observed differences in the dates of events, when comparing equivalent records in all known extant Almanacs and Normal Star Almanacs with those in the Goal-Year Texts, were extremely consistent with theoretical expectations. This lends considerable support to the theory that the Goal-Year Texts‘ records formed the ―raw data‖ used in the compilation of the Almanacs and Normal Star Almanacs. It was also possible to analyse several other aspects of Late Babylonian non-mathematical astronomy during the course of this study. These topics include the usage of particular stars in the predictive texts, the meaning of certain terminology found in records of the Babylonian zodiacal signs, and the specific issues related to the planet Mercury‘s periods of visibility and invisibility. Therefore, this investigation enhances many aspects of our knowledge of Late Babylonian astronomical practices.

Abstract:
This thesis is a case study of early Greek poetry in comparison to the literature of the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia, based on a selection of hymns (or: songs in praise of gods) mainly in Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite and Greek. Chapters 1–3 present the core groups of primary sources from the ancient Near East: Old Babylonian Sumerian, Old Babylonian Akkadian, Hittite. The aim of these chapters is to analyse the main features of style and content of Sumerian and Akkadian hymnic poetry, and to show how certain compositions were translated and adapted beyond Mesopotamia (such as in Hittite). Chapter 4 contains introductory remarks on early Greek hymnic poetry accompanied by some initial comparative observations. On the basis of the primary sources presented in Chapters 1–4, the second half of the thesis investigates selected elements of form and content in a comparative perspective: hymnic openings (Chapter 5), negative predication (Chapter 6), the birth of Aphrodite in the Theogony of Hesiod (Chapter 7), and the origins and development of a phrase in Hittite prayers and the Iliad of Homer (Chapter 8). The conclusion of Chapters 4–6 is that, in terms of form and style, early Greek hymns were probably not indebted to ancient Near Eastern models. This contradicts some current thinking in Classical scholarship, according to which Near Eastern influence was pervasive in early Greek poetry in general. Chapters 7–8 argue that such influence may nevertheless be perceived in certain closely defined instances, particularly where supplementary evidence from other ancient sources is available, and where the extant sources permit a reconstruction of the process of translation and adaptation. Hence this thesis seeks to contribute to the current debate on early Greek and ancient Near Eastern literature with a detailed analysis of a selected group of primary sources.

Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.
ENGLISH 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.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
In this study, the Babylonian Exile of the Jews is approached from the perspective of a sociological analysis of more recent historical cases of mass deportation and refugee behaviour. After this survey, four behaviour patterns are isolated that function as 'Mechanisms for Survival' for minorities in crisis and under domination in a foreign environment. These 'Mechanisms' include 1) Structural adaptation, 2) The rise of, and conflict between, new leaders. 35 new Folklore patterns, especially 'Hero' stories, and 4) adoption or elaboration of ritual as a means of boundary maintenance and identity preservation. These four mechanisms are then illustrated from Exilic texts of the Old Testament. The rise of Elders and the changing nature of the Bet Abot is seen as structural adaptation. The conflict of Jeremiah and Hananiah, and the advice of Jeremiah in his 'letter', is seen as the conflict of new leaders in crisis. The 'Diaspora Novella' is compared to Messianic expectation and especially to Suffering Servant to show how folklore can reflect social conditions and serve a function as 'hero stories'. Finally, the latest redactional layers of 'P' reveal concern for purity and separation that expressed itself in social isolationism and boundary maintenance, particularly in the dissolution of marriages with foreign wives. There is also a section on social conflict after the restoration, as a measure of the independent development of exilic social ideology and theology. The conclusion is that sociological analysis of the Exilic material reveals the exilic-post-exilic community exhibiting features of a minority group under stress, and the creative means by which that group responds by Mechanisms for Survival.

Abstract:
Mit dieser Dissertation wird ein bedeutender Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung der Altorientalistik geleistet. Ihr Ziel war es, herkunftsbestimmte und datierte Denkmäler einer künstlerischen Gattung zu sammeln, die es uns ermöglicht, ein chronologisches Gerüst zum Verständnis der achaimenidenzeitlichen Kunst zu schaffen. Die Glyptik schien dafür, wie keine andere Gattung, besonders geeignet. Sie begegnet uns in Gestalt von Siegelabrollungen bzw. -abdrücken auf zahllosen gesiegelten Tontafelurkunden, die sowohl herkunftsbestimmt wie datiert sind, bislang aber niemals systematisch ausgewertet wurden. Die wohl bedeutendsten Fortschritte und Erkenntnisse der Dissertation konnten in den folgenden Themenbereichen erzielt werden: (1) Im einführenden Kapitel der Dissertation wurden erstmals grundlegende kunsttheoretisch-konzeptionelle Gedanken zum Begriff, zur "Persönlichkeit" wie zur Genese der achaimenidischen Kunst entwickelt. Der weitverbreiteten graecozentrischen Interpretation wurde eine neue iranozentrische Interpretation gegenübergestellt. Eine analytische Skizze der Forschungsgeschichte der achaimenidischen Glyptik, ihrer Etappen, Fundorte und Chronologie erwies sich als unumgänglich und wurde hier das erstemal überhaupt publiziert. Ebenso eine kritische Würdigung der Benennung und Definition der wichtigsten achaimenidenzeitlichen Siegelstile. (2) Unentbehrliche Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt aller Überlegungen der Dissertation war die Schaffung eines, bislang ja noch nicht verfügbaren, Denkmälerkorpus. Es sollten unter den Tontafelurkunden aus dem Babylonien der Achaimenidenzeit alle diejenigen erfasst werden, die gesiegelt sind. Der Publikationsstand ihrer Siegel sollte geklärt werden, noch unpublizierte gesiegelte Tontafeln sollten ermittelt werden, die Zahl auch ihrer Siegel geklärt werden. Als Ergebnis einer systematischen Durchsicht einiger Zigtausend Tontafeln, die in über 100 Museen und Privatsammlungen weltweit aufbewahrt werden, konnte das überhaupt erste Korpus herkunftsbestimmter, datierter gesiegelter Tontafeln aus dem Babylonien der Achaimenidenzeit erstellt werden. Die Tontafelfunde aus den einzelnen Archivfundorten wurden in Kapitel II beschrieben, die Ergebnisse in den analytischen Bibliographien, synoptischen Analysen und Übersichten des Kapitels XVIII.2 und .3 festgehalten. In einem Katalog der gesiegelten Tontafeln sind mehr als 1300 Tontafelurkunden in chronologischer Abfolge ihrer Ausstellungsdaten, nach Regierungszeiten der Achaimenidenherrscher und Herkunftsorten geordnet, aufgelistet. Dieser Tontafelkatalog ist Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Dissertation wie für alle weiterführenden Forschungen, enthält er doch auch Hinweise auf die zahlreichen noch unpublizierter Siegel vieler publizierter und noch unpublizierter Tontafeln. Davon ausgehend konnte das überhaupt erste Korpus herkunftsbestimmter, datierter Siegel aus dem Babylonien der Achaimenidenzeit geschaffen werden. In einem zweiten Katalog, dem Siegelkatalog, wurden 1127 Siegel (Cylindersiegel, Stempelsiegel und Ringe) nach ihren Bildinhalten, in einer festgelegten Abfolge von Motivthemen, nach Szenen- und Einzelmotivthemen getrennt, aufgelistet. Dem Korpus ist eine umfangreiche photographische (und zeichnerische) Dokumentation von 2042 Abbildungen beigefügt. Etwa drei Viertel der Katalogsiegel sind bisher noch unpubliziert und werden in dieser Dissertation überhaupt das erstemal in Makrophotos bekannt gemacht bzw. werden hier in verbesserter Form neu publiziert. Eine bedeutende Anzahl von bisher nicht bzw. in unbrauchbarer Form publizierten Siegeln der Tontafeln des Murašû-Archivs aus Nippur, die im University Museum zu Philadelphia, Pa., aufbewahrt werden, und von Siegeln der UET IV-Texte aus Ur, die sich im Irak-Museum, Baġdâd, befinden, insgesamt über 850 Siegel, sind hier überhaupt zum erstenmal publiziert. Damit konnte der bislang verfügbare Denkmälerbestand ganz wesentlich erweitert werden. Beiden Katalogen ergänzend zu Seite gestellt wurde in Kapitel XVIII.3 ein bibliographischer Katalog, der alle Monographien, Aufsätze und Kataloge von Museen und Privatsammlungen auflistet, die die Glyptik der Achaimenidenzeit zum Thema haben. Er ist als Beitrag zu einem Korpus der Glyptik der Achaimenidenzeit insgesamt zu sehen. Er hilft uns, unter den Denkmälern nicht nur Babyloniens, sondern auch der anderen achaimenidischen Reichsprovinzen, systematisch zu unterscheiden zwischen denen mit gesicherter Provenienz und denen, die über den Kunsthandel bekannt geworden sind. (3) Zentrales Anliegen der vorliegenden Dissertation, die sich als Beitrag zur achaimenidischen Kunstforschung sieht, ist die Ikonographie. Um eine erfolgversprechende Annäherung an motivtypologische Fragestellungen erst möglich zu machen, um die Beschreibung von Siegelbildinhalten im Text des Siegelkataloges und der einzelnen Kapitel, sowie in synoptischen Übersichten überhaupt in leicht handhabbarer und platzsparender Weise zu ermöglichen, um die motivtypologischen Merkmale von Siegeln in abgekürzter Schreibweise darstellen zu können, erwies es sich als unumgänglich ein Notationssystem zuschaffen, das sich einer abgekürzten Notationsweise bedient. Auch hier mußte Neuland betreten werden. Bislang existierte kein System vergleichbarer Art. Das vom Autor in dieser Dissertation erstmals präsentierte Notationssystem ist im Laufe langjähriger Studien entstanden und hat sich im privaten wissenschaftlichen Gebrauch als sehr effizient bewährt. Es ist in Kapitel III ausführlich beschrieben. Es macht eine Verständigung über die Siegelbildtypologie in kurzer, präziser und hinreichend anschaulicher Form möglich. Es ist in seiner Handhabung weder auf eine einzelne Denkmälergattung noch auf eine Periode der altorientalischen Kulturgeschichte beschränkt und gleichzeitig leicht modifizierbar. (4) Die Katalogsiegel wurden In den Kapiteln VII-XIV, nach Motivthemen, Motivthemenvarianten und Motiven geordnet, auf ihre motivtypologischen Merkmale hin untersucht. Dabei wurden 21 Motivthemen mit 64 Themenvarianten und über 200 Motivgruppen unterschieden, die ihrerseits wiederum zahlreichen Motivtypengruppen zugeordnet werden konnten. Die ikonographische Analyse der Katalogsiegel erfolgt dabei jeweils in zwei Schritten: Es galt in einem ersten Schritt zunächst die geographische Verbreitung der Siegelbildmotive, -motivtypen und -motivtypengruppen zu beschreiben. Ausgehend von den herkunftsbestimmten und durch ihre Textbindung datierbaren Katalogsiegeln aus Babylonien wurden auch herkunftsbestimmte Siegel aus den anderen Reichsprovinzen in die Diskussion mit einbezogen, insbesondere solche, die durch ihre Textbindung, ihre Fundumstände oder antiquarische Merkmale (ihre Flügelringtypen) Datierungshinweise liefern. Sie sind in Kapitel XVIII.7-14 nach Motivthemen, Motiven und ihren motivtypologischen Merkmalen, sowie nach ihren Herkunftsregionen und -orten geordnet, in synoptischen Analysen aufgelistet. Dort sind auch alle übrigen Basis-Daten jedes Siegels erfaßt. Dabei wurde die neu entwickelte abgekürzte Notationsweise verwendet. So konnte eine erste, bislang nicht verfügbare, umfangreiche "motivtypologische Grammatik" achaimenidenzeitlicher Siegel geschaffen werden, in der in paradigmatischer Weise die Motive, Motivtypen und Motivtypenvarianten der Siegel in ihrer Struktur erfaßt und nach Motivtypengruppen geordnet werden, und aus der ihre geographische wie chronologische Verbreitung und ihre Stilzugehörigkeit ersichtlich wird. Sie macht die Merkmale der Siegel in ihrer komplexen Fülle erst wirklich bewußt und transparent. Diese strukturelle Analyse ist Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt für alle weiterführenden ikonographischen Studien. Es bleibt die Aufgabe, vergleichbare motivtypologische Grammatiken auch für die Denkmäler der anderen Achaimenidenprovinzen zu erstellen. In einem zweiten Schritt wurde dann die Frage nach der Chronologie der Siegel gestellt. Siegellaufzeiten, die sich aus den Ausstellungsdaten der gesiegelten Tontafeln ablesen lassen, datierbare Antiquaria der Siegelbilder, insbesondere deren geflügelte Ringe, geben Aufschluß über die relative Chronologie der Siegel, d.h. ihren Verwendungszeitraum, und damit schließlich über ihre absolute Chronologie, d.h. ihre Entstehungszeit. Die Identität der Siegelinhaber wurde gleichzeitig angesprochen. Siegelbildlegenden auf den Siegeln selbst bzw. Siegelbildbeischriften, die deren Abrollungen bzw. Abdrücken auf den Tontafeln beigefügt wurden, geben uns Auskunft über die Identität der Siegelinhaber. Die Katalogsiegel ließen sich mehreren Stilgruppen zuordnen. Neben Siegeln einheimischen babylonischen Stils begegnen Siegel des persischen (Hof-)Stils der neuen Leitkultur und Siegel, die Merkmale der "graeco-persischen" Stilgruppen der achaimenidenzeitlichen Kunst Kleinasiens/Anatoliens zeigen. Aussagen über die Verbreitung der Siegelstile unter den Siegeln von Individuen unterschiedlichster Ämter, Funktionen, sozialer Stellung, ethnischer wie religiöser Zugehörigkeit wurden möglich, die in den einzelnen Regionen Babyloniens zu den Regierungszeiten der einzelnen Achaimenidenherrscher lebten. (5) In den Kapiteln V und VI wurde die Frage nach der Form und Typologie sowie der ikonographischen Deutung der königlichen Kidaris und des Flügelringsymbols gestellt und die Möglichkeit ihrer generellen Datierbarkeit diskutiert. Eine chronologische Abfolge der Kidarentypen ließ sich nicht feststellen. Die Kidaris der Achaimenidenkönige ist eine dynastische Krone und eben keine persönliche Krone. Es gelang aber termini a quibus für die Verwendung bzw. termini ad quos für die Entstehung von 8 Flügelringtypen zu definieren. Dies hat Konsequenzen für die Datierung der Achaimenidenreliefs. Darüberhinaus konnte eine neue Deutung des achaimenidischen Flügelringsymbols gefunden werden. (6) In Kapitel XV wurde schließlich ein chronologisches Resumé gezogen, das die Siegel aller Motivthemen der Kapitel VII-XIV zusammenführt. Es entstand damit eine erste, bislang nicht verfügbare, chronologische Übersicht herkunftsbestimmter, datierter achaimenidischer/ achaimenidenzeitlicher Glyptik.

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.

Full text
Abstract:
Perek Helek, the last chapter of Tractate Sanhedrin in the Babylonian Talmud (BT), is unusual in consisting almost entirely of aggadah (non-legal material). The present study is a source and literary analysis of six units ('sugyot') from the chapter, which are almost continuous over ten pages of Talmud. The 'sugyot' relate to specific groups and individuals who, according to the Mishnah, are denied a place in the World to Come. They cover subjects in the books of Genesis, Numbers and Samuel. Comparisons with the Tosefta, Palestinian Talmud and midrashim suggest that the BT is less concerned with the World to Come than Palestinian sources are. Rather, it focuses on the wrong-doing of the groups and individuals and issues of justice and authority. The BT also includes vivid stories which appear to be Babylonian in origin and are often self-mocking. My findings also suggest that the 'sugyot' based on passages in a given biblical book (Genesis or Numbers) have more elements in common than 'sugyot' based on the same mishnah but derived from a different biblical book. In conclusion I discuss the possible implications of my findings for the more general question of how the chapter was edited.

Abstract:
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 .

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
Au premier millénaire, Babylone est la plus grande ville de Mésopotamie, et est surtout considérée, par les Babyloniens et dans l' historiographie contemporaine, comme la ville des dieux et une ville sacrée de première importance. Face à cette prédominance du fait religieux, l' un des enjeux de ce travail est de s' interroger sur la place laissée au roi temporel, et plus généralement au pouvoir politique, dans la ville de Babylone. Cette thèse s'articule en trois points : comment le roi temporel s' inscrit- il dans la ville du souverain éternel, cité à la topographie sacralisée? En quoi Babylone est-elle au fondement d' une royauté sacralisée ? Et enfin, quelles sont les manifestations concrètes du pouvoir royal temporel dans Babylone ? Fondée sur l' étude d'inscriptions royales commémoratives, de mythes et de documents de la pratique, cette étude permet, ainsi, de revoir et de réapprécier le rôle de Babylone en tant que capitale politique, et tente de parvenir à un rééquilibrage du rôle du souverain temporel à l' intérieur de la ville de Marduk
In 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

Abstract:
Au sein de la société babylonienne (actuel Irak) de la seconde moitié du premier millénaire avant Jésus, plusieurs modes d'organisation du travail coexistent : travail rémunéré, esclavage, différentes formes de dépendance. Ma thèse se concentre sur le statut et activités des esclaves et dépendant(e)s rattaché(e)s aux temples, ainsi que celui des déportés d'origine judéenne et ouest-sémitique déplacés de force en Mésopotamie par l'empire néo-babylonien lors de la conquête de la Syrie-­Palestine. Ces trois groupes sociaux ont pu être analysés comme étant soumis à des formes d'esclavage. Je tente une étude précise de leurs activités économiques, leur implication dans différents secteurs (agriculture, commerce, artisanat, construction), que ce soit en milieu rural ou urbain, tout en confrontant cela avec la documentation juridique et judiciaire disponible. Ainsi, je tente de montrer les frontières théoriques des statuts des esclaves, dépendant(e)s et déporté(e)s, mais aussi comment la seule lecture juridique est insuffisante pour cela. Ma thèse s'intéresse ainsi particulièrement à distinguer les hiérarchies socio-économiques présentes dans chacun de ces groupes de travailleurs afin de percevoir les dynamiques sociales qui se jouent. La constitution d'une classe de travailleurs intermédiaires (esclaves-agents, dépendants gestionnaires, déportés disposant de capital à investir ...) est un fait important à analyser de ce fait. Quelles possibilités de mobilité sociale et d'émancipation en Babylonie au premier millénaire avant J.-C. pour les membres de ces groupes? C'est l'enjeu de mon étude, pleinement inscrite dans l'histoire du travail
Several 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

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: David S. Vanderhooft
I 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

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.
Ammißaduqa, 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.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l’usage des animaux dans les pratiques thérapeutiques mésopotamiennes. Elle s’intéresse autant à l’animal utilisé à titre d’ingrédient pour la préparation des médications, qu’à l’animal participant aux rituels thérapeutiques. La première partie dresse un panorama des sources cunéiformes à disposition pour la reconstitution des pratiques médicales et propose une exploration de la perception de la faune par les Mésopotamiens en s’intéressant à la taxinomie ainsi qu’aux valeurs symboliques associées à l’animal. Elle s’attache également à l’examen de questions d’ordre pratique induites par l’usage des animaux dans la pharmacopée (approvisionnement, conservation, modalités de mise en œuvre etc.). La seconde partie de cette étude consiste en l’élaboration d’un catalogue des animaux rencontrés dans les textes médicaux cunéiformes. Celui-ci répertorie et examine les usages thérapeutiques de chaque animal en essayant de comprendre les raisons de leurs utilisations dans des contextes pathologiques spécifiques. La troisième partie est dévolue à l’étude du contexte culturel et intellectuel dans lequel ont été rédigées ces tablettes scientifiques mésopotamiennes. Les notions de « secret » et de « cryptage » du savoir sont ici mises en lumière. Le point central de cette partie consiste dans la présentation du document Uruanna = maštakal et des différentes hypothèses émises quant à son interprétation ; certaines de celles-ci remettant en question l’usage d’ingrédients d’origine animale dans la pharmacopée
This 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
