  • Justice in Ancient Mesopotamia Zchapter ONE JUSTICE in ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA
    Justice in Ancient Mesopotamia zCHAPTER ONE JUSTICE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA Introduction Any study of justice in the Bible must begin with ancient Mesopotamia be- cause the concept and the vocabulary of biblical justice are rooted in that culture. To uncover these roots, this chapter will explore justice in ancient Mesopotamia from the Sumerian culture to the Neo-Babylonian. Although the scope of this chapter seems ambitious, its purpose is limited. The structure of judicial power and the general administration of justice in these cultures will not be treated here.1 This chapter restricts itself rather to the analysis of certain aspects of justice: the problem of the poor and the oppressed, the action of the government in response to them, and the reflection of such a problem in popu- lar piety.2 The concept of justice in ancient Mesopotamia embraces a broader meaning than our concepts of commutative, distributive, or social justice. It is not enough for the governor to promulgate good laws and supervise the keeping of these laws; in order for justice to have its place in the Mesopotamian world, he must also issue decrees of mercy that allow the restoration of a destabilized equality. This chapter studies the texts in chronological order. After an overview of early social and economic development in ancient Mesopotamia, it analyzes the first of social reforms undertaken there. It then goes on to consider the various Mesopotamian law codes, the decrees of mercy (“justice”), and the religious texts that reflect the situation facing the underclasses of Mesopotamia.3 1 For a study of the characteristic structures of judicial power as well as the adminis- tration of justice in general within the societies of ancient Mesopotamia, see Hans J.

  • New Insights on the Role of Environmental Dynamics Shaping Southern Mesopotamia: from the Pre-Ubaid to the Early Islamic Period
    IRAQ (2019) Page 1 of 24 Doi:10.1017/irq.2019.2 1 NEW INSIGHTS ON THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS SHAPING SOUTHERN MESOPOTAMIA: FROM THE PRE-UBAID TO THE EARLY ISLAMIC PERIOD By MARK ALTAWEEL,ANKE MARSH,JAAFAR JOTHERI,CARRIE HRITZ,DOMINIK FLEITMANN, STEPHANIE ROST,STEPHEN F. L INTNER,MCGUIRE GIBSON,MATTHEW BOSOMWORTH, MATTHEW JACOBSON,EDUARDO GARZANTI,MARA LIMONTA AND GIUDITTA RADEFF Recent fieldwork and archival sedimentary materials from southern Iraq have revealed new insights into the environment that shaped southern Mesopotamia from the pre-Ubaid (early Holocene) until the early Islamic period. These data have been combined with northern Iraqi speleothem, or stalagmite, data that have revealed relevant palaeoclimate information. The new results are investigated in light of textual sources and satellite remote sensing work. It is evident that areas south of Baghdad, and to the region of Uruk, were already potentially habitable between the eleventh and early eighth millennia B.C., suggesting there were settlements in southern Iraq prior to the Ubaid. Date palms, the earliest recorded for Iraq, are evident before 10,000 B.C., and oak trees are evident south of Baghdad in the early Holocene but disappeared after the mid-sixth millennium B.C. New climate results suggest increased aridity after the end of the fourth millennium B.C. For the third millennium B.C. to first millennium A.D., a negative relationship between grain and date palm cultivation in Nippur is evident, suggesting shifting cultivation emphasising one of these crops at any given time in parts of the city. The Shatt en-Nil was also likely used as a channel for most of Nippur’s historical occupation from the third millennium B.C.

  • HENRIETTE ANTONIA GROENEWEGEN-FRANKFORT by Claudia E
    HENRIETTE ANTONIA GROENEWEGEN-FRANKFORT By Claudia E. Suter Henriette Antonia Groenewegen was born on December 17, 1896 in Leyden, the Netherlands. She was the second youngest of six children. Her father, Hermanus Ysbrand Groenewegen, was a minister in the Remonstrantse Broederschap, a branch of the Dutch Reformation, which distinguishes itself from Lutheran hard-liners by its liberal attitudes.1 When Jettie, as Henriette was called by her family and friends, was six years old, her father became professor for practical theology, history of the Remonstrantse Broederschap, and philosophy of religion at the Fig. 1: H. A. Groenewegen- seminary of the Remonstrantse Broederschap in Frankfort in 1941. Leyden. He was an important figure in this circle, and famous as orator. Over time the focus of his work seems to have shifted more and more toward philosophy. In 1916, when Jettie was twenty years of age, he became professor for philosophy of religion and philosophical ethics in the theological faculty of the University of Amsterdam, for which he had to give up his leadership at the seminary. Jettie thus grew up in a liberal and intellectual milieu, and received a good general education. Perhaps inspired by her father's work, she pursued studies in Greek and Chinese philosophy at the University of Amsterdam. Although women had been admitted to universities in Holland since 1890, it was still unusual for a young woman in the second decade of our century to pursue academic studies, especially philosophy. Most professions then were taught by apprenticeship, institutions of higher education in general were restricted to those who could afford it, and the middle and upper class woman's common occupation was that of mother and housewife.

  • State and Empire in Early Mesopotamia
    State and Empire in Early Mesopotamia Wang Xianhua Sichuan University ABSTRACT Early Mesopotamia in practical use refers to ancient Mesopotamia from the Late Uruk Period to the Ur III Period or the Old Babylonian Period and geographically it includes the watersheds of the Euphrates, Tigris, and Karun Rivers, now divided between Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey (Pournelle 2013; cf. Sherratt 2004; Wright and Johnson 1975). Regarded as one of the few regions in the world that saw civilization, early Mesopotamia has been featuring heavy in discussions of the im- portant ‘firsts’, the most significant of which would be the emergence of the primary state (Childe 1952; Trigger 2003; Wittfogel 1957). In our division of academic labour, the emergence of the primary state is most- ly a topic for the archaeologists and anthropologists, while the tradi- tional historian seldom gets his hands dirty in such theoretical issues. In light of recent rethinkings of fundamental assumptions in modern histo- riography (Smail 2005; Smail and Shryock 2013), however, it becomes urgent to look for an integrated view of history from its rightful begin- ning. The following is one attempt as such at the dynamic emergence and the characteristics of the earliest state societies in early Mesopota- mia with special attention to the integration of theoretical discussions and insights from philological research (cf. Forest 2005; Postgate 1994a; Stein 2005). INTRODUCTORY NOTES In discussions of the earliest state societies in the ancient Near East early Mesopotamia is often spoken of without further temporal dif- ferentiation, though the focal time period is usually the Middle to Late Uruk Periods when the earliest primary state is supposed to have taken its place (Postgate 1994a; cf.

All rights reserved Published 1963 Printed in the United States of America ISBN: 0-226-45237-9 (clothbound); 0-226-45238-7 (paperbound) Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 63-11398 89 1011 12 To the UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA and its UNIVERSITY MUSEUM PREFACE The year 1956 saw the publication of my book From the Tablets of Sumer, since revised, reprinted, and translated into numerous languages under the title History Begins at Sumer. It consisted of twenty-odd disparate essays united by a common theme—"firsts" in man s recorded history and culture. The book did not treat the political history of the Sumerian people or the nature of their social and economic institutions, nor did it give the reader any idea of the manner and method by which the Sumerians and their language were discovered and "resurrected/' It is primarily to fill these gaps that the present book was conceived and composed. The first chapter is introductory in character; it sketches briefly the archeological and scholarly efforts which led to the decipher­ ment of the cuneiform script, with special reference to the Sumerians and their language, and does so in a way which, it is hoped, the interested layman can follow with understanding and insight. The second chapter deals with the history of Sumer from the prehistoric days of the fifth millennium to the early second millennium B.C., when the Sumerians ceased to exist as a political entity.

When in the season of 1931/32 we opened up strata of Agade and Early Dynastic times, the chronology of these periods naturally occupied our thoughts greatly, and the author felt prompted to resume earlier, more perfunctory studies of the Sumerian King List. The main ideas embodied in the present work took shape that season in the evenings, after days spent in the houses and among the remains of the periods with which the King List deals.
