Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Cassite Kings From the Temple Archives of Nippur It only remains to thank here the Provost of the University, Dr. C. C. Harrison, and the Director of the Museum of Science and Art, Mr. S. F. Houston, for their hospitality, kindness, and courtesies shown to me during my sojourn in the Museum. To express my gratefulness to Mr. Eckley Brinton Coxe, J r., through whose gen erosity the Museum is enabled to publish the following pages, gives me special pleasure. I am sure I voice the sentiments of all Assyriologists when I say that this noble and unselfish benefactor erects by these publications, the elegance of which is not attained by any other similar works, much less surpassed, an everlasting monument upon which all scholars look with admiration and gratefulness. To my friend and teacher, Prof. Dr. H. V. Hilprecht, who so generously and freely assisted me in words and deeds during the course of the preparation of this volume, whose valuable time, profound scholarship, and learning were at all times most abundantly at my dis posal, who not only read the proof-sheets, but who constantly and continually helped me most liberally with his valuable advice, I am especially most grateful. I only hope and pray that the work of the pupil may be worthy of the master. It is a special delight to be able to express publicly my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Sallie Crozer Hilprecht for her most generous benefactions bestowed upon me during the last two years while here in Philadelphia. Were it not for her help I never could have written this book. May she graciously condescend to accept this work as a very small token of my profound and lasting gratitude.

Book excerpt: This book analyzes the history of Mesopotamian imagery form the mid-second to mid-first millennium BCE. It demonstrates that in spite of rich textual evidence, which grants the Mesopotamian gods and goddesses an anthropmorphic form, there was a clear abstention in various media from visualizing the gods in such a form. True, divine human-shaped cultic images existed in Mesopotamian temples. But as a rule, non-anthropomorphic visual agents such as inanimate objects, animals or fantastic hybrids replaced these figures when they were portrayed outside of their sacred enclosures. This tendency reached its peak in first-millennium Babylonia and Assyria. The removal of the Mesopotamian human-shaped deity from pictorial renderings resembles the Biblical agenda not only in its avoidance of displaying a divine image but also in the implied dual perception of the divine: according to the Bible and the Assyro-Babylonian concept the divine was conceived as having a human form; yet in both cases anthropomorphism was also concealed or rejected, though to a different degree. In the present book, this dual approach toward the divine image is considered as a reflection of two associated rather than contradictory religious worldviews. The plausible consolidation of the relevant Biblical accounts just before the Babylonian Exile, or more probably within the Exile - in both cases during a period of strong Assyrian and Babylonian hegemony - points to a direct correspondence between comparable religious phenomena. It is suggested that far from their homeland and in the absence of a temple for their god, the Judahite deportees adopted and intensified the Mesopotamian avoidance of anthropomorphic picorial portrayals of deities. While the Babylonian representations remained confined to temples, the exiles would have turned a cultic reality - i.e., the nonwritten Babylonian custom - into a written, articulated law that explicity forbade the pictorial representation of God.
