PREFACE. ---I N a day when literature and criticism are found to sm;tain relations I ever more intimate, it is hardly ·surprising that progressive thought should deal with the Sacred Scriptures no less vigorously than with other writings, ancient and modern. As works designated " classical" are not free from examination, which in some cases assumes a form that is manifestly destructive, so also documents which make their appeal to man's deepest nature are subjected to a scrutiny corresponding with that extended to writings whose general aim may be to stir men's passions and excite their prejudices on the lower scale of life. In the sphere of faith one may well object that unfriendly hands should be laid upon concerns which are rightly held to be spiritual ; but seeing that the precious things of truth are broad-based upon facts, and therefore capable of logical demonstration, one may not regret that " the. things most surely believed" are put to the proof equally with other (and more ordinary) things met with in daily life. All the same, one may reasonably claim for spiritual things a treat­ ment suited to their essential nature; and, moreover, do one's part in safeguarding them against wanton misrepresentation. Just here we recognize the object of the Victoria Institute-in the first place, to investigate, in a reverent spirit, important questions of philosophy and science, especially those bearing upon Holy Scripture. Surveying the contents of the present volume, one must in the first place make mention of the contributions made to the Transac­ tions of the Victoria Institute by Dr. J. A. Fleming, F.R.S., it11 honoured President. This exponent of science has once more shown himself to be an adept in the discrimination of philosophical theories, and a reliable leader in thought as it tends to confirm the Christian faith. His paper on "Number in Nature and in the Biblical Litera­ ture, indicating a Common Origin in a Supreme Intelligence," was Vl PREFACE. welcomed as an utterance calculated to stabilize many a wavering mind, while his Annual Address, delivered at the close of the Session, on "Relativity and Reality," was acknowledged to be a masterly exposition of a profound subject. For the most part, the lectures of the session had a bearing, more or less direct, upon the Holy Scriptures. The Gunning Prize Essay, "Christ and the Scriptures," by Dr. Parke P. Flournoy, stands out in this connection; and the same may be said of other papers­ " The l.VIiraculous in Holy Scripture," by Rev. A. H. Finn ; " Science in the Book of Ecclesiastes," by Mr. Avary H. Forbes; and" Sen­ nacherib's Invasion of Judah," by Rev. Charles Boutflower. Another essay of definite value was" The New Testament Era in the Sequence of Prophecy," by Dr. W. Bell Dawson. In another class may be placed-" The Influence of the Myth­ ology and Heathen Practices of the Canaanites upon the Hebrews," by Dr. T. G. Pinches ; " The Doctrine of Forgiveness through the Cross of Christ," by Canon B. K. Cunningham; and" Protestantism and Rationalism in France," by Dr. R. Saillens. The first of these lectures bears witness to long years of labour on the part of a dis­ tinguished Assyriologist; the second is by an author belonging to a school not often heard before the Institute, and therefore subjected to criticism at once prompt and candid; the third registers the impressions of an Evangelical stalwart, who is at once a loyal Pro­ testant and a patriotic son of la belle France. Speaking generally, the papers were subjected to discussion with truly helpful results. In some instances, beyond all question, the criticism presented by members gave unity and completion to the utterances of scholars whom it was a privilege to welcome as lec­ turers before the Institute.

READ AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MARCH 19TH, 1928. 1. Progress of the Institute, The Council beg once more to present their Annual Report to Members and Associates. It is the fifty-ninth since the commence­ ment of the Society, so that the year we have now commenced is our Diamond Jubilee of the Victoria Institute. The Session began with a paper of unusual interest by Professor J. A. Fleming, F.R.S., on" Evolution and Revelation," in which the lecturer emphasized the difference between the wonderful applications of science at the present and the theories of science, which do not always rest on a basis of ascertained £acts, but which borrow a fictitious authority from the undoubted advantages of the former. Such a paper is greatly needed and cannot but have a salutary effect on many in the times in which we live. Amongst the many excellent papers which followed it may be permissible to name those by Squadron-Leader Wiseman, R.A.F., on "Ancient Babylon," of Rev. A. H. Finn on " The Predictive Element in Holy Scripture," and Dr. Kyle's on "The Site of the Cities of the Plain." 2. Meetings. Twelve ordinary Meetings were held during the Session 1926-27. The papers published were :- " Evolution and Revelation," by Professor J. A. FLEMING, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S. Dr. James W. Thirtle, 1\1.R.A.S., in the Chair. B 2 ANNUAL REPORT. " Man and his God : The Origin of Religion among Primitive Peoples," by Captain T. W. E. HIGGENS. Lieut.-Colonel F. A. Molony, O.B.E., in the Chair.

[ ] 안에 지역을 집어넣어 구별할 수 있도록 하였습니다. 책이름은 『 』에 넣 고, 잡지나 신문 등 기타는 「 」에 넣었다. (2008.8) 수메르 사람들은 기원전 4천경에 물건을 상징하는 물표를 만들어 그 표면에 물건 의 특색을 그려 넣어서 사용했다. 기원전 3300년경에 상형문자와 숫자를 쓰기 시작 했다. 그들은 중국 사람들처럼 많은 상형문자를 만들지 않았다. 기원전 2600년경에 는 사용하는 문자가 줄어들어 약 700개의 문자만 썼다. 수메르 사람들은 기존의 문 자를 조합해서 새로운 낱말로 만들어 썼다. 중국 사람들도 기존의 글자를 이용해서 새로운 뜻을 표현했지만, 그들은 새로운 글자를 만들어 냄으로써 글자 수가 기하급 수적으로 늘어나게 만들었다. 수메르 사람들은 “루(lu2, 사람)”와 “갈(gal, 큰)”을 합쳐서 갈루(GAL.LU2)로 표기 하고 루갈로 읽었다. 그 뜻은 “왕”이 되었다. 하지만 “큰 사람”을 말하는 경우에는 루-갈(lu2-gal)로 표기했다. 한편 한 문자를 여러 음으로 발음하고 그 뜻도 각기 다 른 경우가 있다. “입”은 카(ka)인데, “말하다”라는 뜻인 “둑(dug4)”으로 읽거나 “말 씀”이라는 뜻인 “이님(inim)”, “이빨”이라는 뜻인 “주(zu)”로 읽기도 했다. 수메르 사람들은 모든 단어를 표의문자로 만들지 않았다. “꿈”이라는 단어는 “마 무드(mamud)”라고 하는데, “꿈”이라는 표의문자를 만들지 않고 2개 음절로 “마-무 드(ma-mud)”로 표기했다.

Date Thomas McGovern Chair of Examining Committee Date Jeff Maskovsky Executive Officer Supervisory Committee: Timothy Pugh Astrid Ogilvie Adolf Frðriksson THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii ABSTRACT Handbook for the Deceased: Re-Evaluating Literature and Folklore in Icelandic Archaeology by Brenda Prehal Advisor: Thomas McGovern The rich medieval Icelandic literary record, comprised of mythology, sagas, poetry, law codes and post-medieval folklore, has provided invaluable source material for previous generations of scholars attempting to reconstruct a pagan Scandinavian Viking Age worldview. In modern Icelandic archaeology, however, the Icelandic literary record, apart from official documents such as censuses, has not been considered a viable source for interpretation since the early 20th century. Although the Icelandic corpus is problematic in several ways, it is a source that should be used in Icelandic archaeological interpretation, if used properly with source criticism. This dissertation aims to advance Icelandic archaeological theory by reintegrating the medieval and post-medieval Icelandic literary corpus back into archaeological interpretation. The literature can help archaeologists working in Iceland to find pagan religious themes that span time and place.
