Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Cuneiform Culture written by Karen Radner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cuneiform script, the writing system of ancient Mesopotamia, was witness to one of the world's oldest literate cultures. For over three millennia, it was the vehicle of communication from (at its greatest extent) Iran to the Mediterranean, Anatolia to Egypt. The Oxford Handbook of Cuneiform Culture examines the Ancient Middle East through the lens of cuneiform writing. The contributors, a mix of scholars from across the disciplines, explore, define, and to some extent look beyond the boundaries of the written word, using Mesopotamia's clay tablets and stone inscriptions not just as 'texts' but also as material artefacts that offer much additional information about their creators, readers, users and owners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a new model for the production, revision, and reception of Biblical texts as Scripture. Building on recent studies of the oral/written interface in medieval, Greco-Roman and ancinet Near Eastern contexts, David Carr argues that in ancient Israel Biblical texts and other texts emerged as a support for an educational process in which written and oral dimensions were integrally intertwined. The point was not incising and reading texts on parchment or papyrus. The point was to enculturate ancient Israelites - particularly Israelite elites - by training them to memorize and recite a wide range of traditional literature that was seen as the cultural bedorck of the people: narrative, prophecy, prayer, and wisdom.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of the Inscriptions on the Tablets and Grave-Stones in the Burial-Grounds of Christ Church, Philadelphia: Compiled and Arranged at the Request of Vestry The design of this work is to preserve a record of the inscriptions on the tombstones in and around Christ Church and in the burial-ground at Fifth and Arch Streets. Time has made such inroads on these monu ments that many of the words are now difficult to de cipher, and on some of the stones no names are legible to tell of the remains that rest beneath; and as so many associations cluster around these monuments, it would prove a source of regret in after years that any now legible should pass into oblivion. These inscriptions, therefore, have been carefully co pied, and are presented to the reader in the following pages precisely as they appear on the tablets, so that when the hand of time may have washed away the memorial as now seen, these words, endeared to so many family circles, will remain, and the position of the graves kept in remembrance.

Book excerpt: Of the importance of the Amherst Collection of tablets, beginning, as they do, almost at the earliest period to which we can go back at the present moment, and extending down to the centuries immediately preceding the Christian Era, there is no need to speak. Roughly, the extent of time which they cover may be set down as rather more than four millenniums, and from its great length is bound to offer a series of most important epochs in the history of those branches of the Hamitic and the Semitic races which used the cuneiform characters for their records. Those who have made it their specialty know it as a study full of romance in its history, from the first guesses to get at the readings of the characters to the noteworthy find of Hittite remains at Boghaz Keui; and full of surprises in the discoveries which its present advanced state enables the student to appreciate so fully. A few remarks upon the position of the different sections of the Amherst Collection in the historical scheme will, therefore, be welcomed by the reader who approaches documents of this class for the first time, as well as by others who are already acquainted with it.At what date the civilization of Babylonia had its beginnings is unknown. king of our records, judging from the forms of the characters in the' sequence of their development, was En-sag-kus-ana, "lord of Kengi"--that is, Sumer or southern Babylonia. From the style of his inscriptions, his date is regarded as having been before 4500 B.C., but until we get more precise indications, this estimate of his period must be regarded as more or less tentative. On the limit of 4500 B.C. comes Uru-ka-gina or Uru-enima-gina of Lagas, inscriptions of whose time are given on pp. 1-14, unless the first, which has no king's name, belongs to the reign of Lugal-and, who was probably his immediate predecessor. As will be seen from an examination of the copies on pp. 3-5, 10, II, and 14, and the reproduction on pl. 1. of the first tablet translated, the lines of which the characters were formed had already become wedges in consequence of their being impressed by the corner of a. square or triangular stick instead of being drawn thereon with a point, showing that we must still go back a considerable period to reach the date of their early hieroglyphic forms. Whether we shall ever get authentic details of the first beginnings of Sumero-Babylonian writing is doubtful, but it is not at all improbable that certain exceedingly archaic tablets found at Susa, in Elam, and inscribed with unusual wedge-written characters, may point out the way.1 As will be seen from several tablets published in this volume, there was constant intercourse between Babylonia and Susa, which seems to have been the early capital of Elam, in the middle of the third millennium before Christ, and also, probably, earlier still. Another important Elamite city, which must have been a formidable rival to Susa, was Ansan1(also written Assan, and, later, Anzan), the capital of the fatherland of Cyrus the Great.
