About This Item
Leiden: Brill, 2010. Hardcover. Fine. xvii, (1), 500pp. Indices. Text in French and German. Blue buckram lettered in white, with 1/2" yellow band at top. Illustrated with a frontispiece photo of Brigitte Groneberg and numerous archaeological photos and drawings, including ground plans, bas reliefs and cuneiform tablets. A fine, as new copy.
This volume in honor of Brigitte Groneberg presents twenty four contributions by leading scholars in the fields of Assyriology and Sumerology dealing with actual topics in Language, Literature and Religions of the Ancient Near East.
Religions, Literature and Languages of the Ancient Near East have always been the main research interests of Prof. Brigitte Groneberg, and now take center stage in this volume. Twenty four contributors have participated in composing this book, presenting their research dealing with Mesopotamian religion, Akkadian, Sumerian and Ugaritian literature and grammar as well as Babylonian history. Thereby several hitherto unknown texts are published and discussed here for the first time. This volume delivers new insights to several topics concerning Ancient Near Eastern cultures, being hence an important resource not only for Assyriologists and Sumerologists but for anybody interested in the field of Ancient Near Eastern studies.
