Mesopotamian Directory MESOPOTAMIAN DIRECTORY 2011 FOURTEENTH EDITION ORIENTAL INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO FEBRUARY 2011 This directory lists names and addresses of persons domiciled in North America who are engaged in research on the pre-Islamic archeology, history, and languages of greater Mesopotamia (including Syria east of the Upper Euphrates, the Elamite plains, and regions using a standard cuneiform script). It includes academics, museum personnel, library staff, and senior graduate students with a formally approved dissertation topic. A directory of this kind will inevitably have omissions. It has not always been possible to obtain timely information about possible entrants, and it has seemed advisable to drop outdated listings. Items enclosed in square brackets are based on the most recent data available (usually 2009 or later), but were not verified by the person listed. Phone numbers where messages can be left—other than the principal office or home number—are prefixed with an asterisk. This directory, now in its fourteenth edition, first appeared in February 1985 and has been published in hard copy every second February since then. The directory was first posted on the internet in February 2003. I wish to thank everyone who filled out and returned entry forms or responded to e-mail inquiries. A special debt is owed to Grant Frame, Ulla Kasten, and David Stronach for answering questions and verifying addresses. I am also grateful to Thomas Urban and John Sanders for their help in converting the directory for internet use. John A. Brinkman February 18, 2011 Mesopotamian Directory 2011 1 ABUSCH, Tzvi.

  • On Writing the History of Southern Mesopotamia* by Eva Von
    On Writing the History of Southern Mesopotamia* by Eva von Dassow — Colorado State University In his book Babylonia 689-627 B.C., G. Frame provides a maximally detailed his- tory of a specific region during a closely delimited time period, based on all available sources produced during that period or bearing on it. This review article critiques the methods used to derive the history from the sources and the conceptual framework used to apprehend the subject of the history. Babylonia 689-627 B. C , the revised version of Grant Frame's doc- toral dissertation, covers one of the most turbulent and exciting periods of Babylonian history, a time during which Babylon succes- sively experienced destruction and revival at Assyria's hands, then suf- fered rebellion and siege, and lastly awaited the opportunity to over- throw Assyria and inherit most of Assyria's empire. Although, as usual, the preserved textual sources cover these years unevenly, and often are insufficiently varied in type and origin (e.g., royal or non- royal, Babylonian or Assyrian), the years from Sennacherib's destruc- tion of Babylon in 689 to the eve of Nabopolassar's accession in 626 are also a richly documented period. Frame's work is an attempt to digest all of the available sources, including archaeological evidence as well as texts, in order to produce a maximally detailed history. Sur- rounding the book's core, chapters 5-9, which proceed reign by reign through this history, are chapters focussing on the sources (ch. 2), chronology (ch. 3), the composition of Babylonia's population (ch.

  • Royal Image and Political Thinking in the Letters of Assurbanipal
    Royal Image and Political Thinking in the Letters of Assurbanipal SANAE ITO Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki, in Hall 5 on 15 April 2015 at 10 o’clock. University of Helsinki, Department of World Cultures Helsinki 2015 Sanae Ito Royal Image and Political Thinking in the Letters of Assurbanipal Copyright © Sanae Ito 2015 ISBN 978-951-51-0972-9 (Paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-0973-6 (PDF) UNIGRAFIA Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2015 To T. ABSTRACT Assurbanipal, the last great king of the Assyrian Empire (934-609 BC), ruled from 668 BC until at least 630 BC. He had to spend four years suppressing a revolt by Šamaš-šumu-ukīn, his older brother and the king of Babylon (667-648 BC), but his reign was much longer than his predecessors and he controlled almost all the area of the Ancient Near East. One of the essential bodies of research material on his reign is his correspondence, which has never before been studied in detail because much of it has been published in cuneiform copies only. His extant correspondence consists of 359 letters: 72 letters from him (the so-called royal letters) and 287 letters to him. Royal letters are particularly rare in the Assyrian correspondence and Assurbanipal’s royal letters outnumber those of his predecessors, hence this dissertation focuses on them. The letters deal with political, military, and diplomatic matters through the king’s point of view and in his words. The aim of this research has been to find out what image Assurbanipal tried to convey in his letters and how he utilized the image in order to further Assyrian policies.

Finally, Dominique Charpin of the Sorbonne spent two weeks in the Tablet Room working on an archive of tablets dating to the eighteenth century bc.

Sargon II and his Redactors Repair Eanna of Uruk Steven W. Holloway American Theological Library Association ABSTRACT Uncritical reliance on redaction criticism for reconstructions of biblical events and chronologies can lead the hapless biblical investigator out of the realm of defensible historical proofs and counterclaims. As an exercise designed to highlight this hazard, a foundation inscription of the Assyrian king Sargon II is analyzed using familiar arguments for adducing multiple redactional hands. A second foundation inscription by a different king drastically alters the readers' conception of the Vorlage behind Sargon's text, inviting suspicion not only of the aforesaid redactional hands, but of the methodological climate that made their invention a routine procedure. The author concludes that, while redaction criticism can yield valuable historical insights when employed in the analysis of synoptic evidence, in the absence of such checks the method is apt to produce results that have little in common with those of other historical disciplines, such as Assyriology.
