ГТ1НЕ aim of this book is to supply easy stories illustrat ing the elementary principles of the Simple and Compound sentence. Short selections from the Public School Primer (for permission to use which I am indebted to the Eev. Canon Kennedy) are printed at the head of the Notes to each Part : explanation of these is left to the master. The Geographical and Historical Notes are very brief, as they are intended for boys who are not likely to be acquainted with Ancient History. I am greatly indebted to my friend Mr. Arthur Sidgwick for most valuable and constant help, and for his kindness in revising the whole work. I have also to thank the Eev. F. D. Morice for corrections in the text, and Mr. J. S. Phillpotts, Head Master of Bedford School, for some most useful suggestions. Most of these stories are adapted from an old translation of Herodotus by Schweighaeuser. G. L. B. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. A T the suggestion of some friends, I have in this Edition added an Alphabetical List of Proper Names, with the quantities marked. The Vocabulary has also been revised and added to, and some slight alterations have been made in the Text and Notes. G. L. B. June 1878. CONTENTS. PART I.

THE material for the name list here published formed the basis of my dissertation " Die Personennamen in den Urkunden der Hammurdbi-Dynastie," published in Munich, summer of 1902. A considerable portion of the two years that have since elapsed has been devoted to a thorough reinvestigation of all the material, and this has resulted in a number of corrections in the readings as well as in the interpretation of some of the names. At the same time the material has been restricted : all names from documents of question- able date have been excluded from the list. This enables us to discuss the problems involved with more certainty. Names taken from undated documents which, however, for palaeographical and other reasons, belong to the period of the first dynasty of Babylon, have been used for comparison in the notes referring to the name-elements.

  • Bible Studies: Balaam Oracles
    BIBLE STUDIES. By M. M. KALISCH, PH. D., M.A. PART 1. THE PROPHECIES OF BALAAM (NUMBERS XXII. to XXIV) OR THE HEBREW AND THE HEATHEN. LONDON: LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO. 1877 Public Domain Digitized by Ted Hildebrandt 2004 PREFACE. ALMOST immediately after the completion of the fourth volume of his Commentary on the Old Testament, in 1872, the author was seized with a severe and lingering illness. The keen pain he felt at the compulsory interrup- tion of his work was solely relieved by the undiminished interest with which he was able to follow the widely ram- ified literature connected with his favourite studies. At length, after weary years of patience and ‘hope deferred,’ a moderate measure of strength seemed to return, inadequate indeed to a resumption of his principal task in its full ex- tent, yet, sufficient, it appeared, to warrant, an attempt at elucidating some of those, numerous problems of Biblical criticism and religious history, which are still awaiting a final solution. Acting, therefore, on the maxim, ‘Est quadam prodire tenus, si non datur ultra,’ and stim- lated by the desire of contributing his humble share to the great intellectual labour of our age, he selected, as a first effort after his partial recovery, the interpretation of that exquisite episode in the Book of Numbers which contains an account of Balaam and his prophecies. This section), complete in itself, discloses a deep insight into the nature and course of prophetic influence; implies most instructive hints for the knowledge of Hebrew doctrine; and is one of the choicest, master-pieces of universal literature.

    ISSN 0989-5671 2020 N° 2 (juin) NOTES BRÈVES 38) A Cylinder Seal with a Spread-Wing Eagle and Two Ruminants from Baylor University’s Mayborn Museum — This study shares the (re)discovery of a cylinder seal (AR 12517) housed at Baylor University’s Mayborn Museum Complex.1) The analysis of the seal offers two contributions: First, the study offers a rare record of the business transaction of a cylinder seal by the famous orientalist Edgar J. Banks. Second, the study adds an exceptional and well-preserved example of a cylinder seal engraved with the motif of a spread-wing eagle and two ruminants to the corpus of ancient Near Eastern seals. The study of this motif reveals that the seal published here offers one of the very few examples of a single-register seal which features a spread-wing eagle flanked by a standing caprid and stag. Acquisition History The museum purchased the cylinder seal for $8 from Edgar J. Banks on April 1st, 1937. Various records indicate that Banks traveled to Texas occasionally for speaking engagements and even sold cuneiform tablets to several institutions and individuals in Texas.2) While Banks sold tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets throughout the U.S., this study adds to the comparably modest number of cylinder seals sold by Banks.3) Although Banks’ original letter no longer remains, the acquisition record transcribes Banks’ words as follow: (Seal cylinders) were used for two distinct purposes. First, they were used to roll over the soft clay of the Babylonian contract tablets after they were inscribed, to legalize the contract and to make it impossible to forge or change the contract.

  • Asszíria Állammá Alakulása Az Ie
    Egy eltűnt birodalom nyomában Asszír birodalom tündöklése és bukása Közép-Kelet kisebb népeire, népelemeire gondolva láthatjuk, hogy mikor tudják létrehozni a maguk államát. Ez a folyamat abban az időben zajlik le, mikor a folyamköz nagy hatalmai, továbbá a termékenyfélhold területén, vagy a perifériáján elhelyezkedő hatalmak meggyengülnek, a politikai hatalmukat, akaratukat már nem tudják olyan intenzitással kifejteni, mint korábban. Tehát a belső problémák, illetve a külső hatások meggyengítették a hatalmukat. Nézzük meg melyek voltak ezek a hatások? I. A népek szétrajzásának a kora ez az időszak, amely az ie. XIV. század során már jól látható, megjelennek észak felől azok a népek, népelemek, amelyek olyan új hatást érnek el, melyek a folyamköz hatalmát érintik, ilyenek a hadifelszerelésben tapasztalható minőségi változások. II. A felvevő piacok lehetőségei, azok erőszakos megszerzése, továbbá a katonai jelenlétük a környező területeken. III. Egy új harcmodorral szinte minden véderőt meg tudtak semmisíteni és nem utolsó sorban a ló megjelenése a harci eszközök között. A ló megjelenése újat vitt a harcászat elemei közé. A hadművészet terén jelentős előnyt jelentett, mert a mozgásuk sebességét két, háromszorosára tudták növelni. Láthatjuk, e népek örökségéből, hogy a mozgás gyorsaságán túl olyan új fegyverek is megjelentek, melyek a hadviselés eszközeiként évezredekig megmaradtak. Ilyenek voltak a harciszekér, a harckocsi, amely megváltoztatta a harcmodort, hiszen a kocsin tartózkodó hajtónak nem kizárólagosan volt a feladata az ellenség leküzdése, mert az íjász ott volt mellette, akinek a feladata volt nyivánvalóan az ellenséges élőerő leküzdése. A harckocsi maga is harci eszköz volt, mert úgy volt kialakítva, hogy az élőerő ellenséges erőiben kárt tegyen, illetve egymaga is meg tudja semmisíteni az ellenség élő erejét.

THE General Editor of The Cambri'dge Bible for Schools thinks it right to say that he does not hold himself responsible either for the interpretation of particular passages which the Editors of the several Books have adopted, or for any opinion on points of doctrine that they may have expressed. In the New Testament more especially questions arise of the deepest theological import, on which the ablest and most conscientious interpreters have differed and always will differ. His aim has been in all such cases to leave each Contributor to the unfettered exercise of his own judgment, only taking care that mere controversy should as far as possible be avoided. He has contented himself. chiefly with a careful revision of the notes, with pointing out omissions, with 6 PREFACE. suggesting occasionally a reconsideration of some question, or a fuller treatment of difficult passages, and the like.

  • An Alternate Chronology for the Near East During the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, and Its Consequences Fo
    Aspects of Ancient Near Eastern Chronology (c. 1600 – 700 BC) Pierce James Furlong Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Centre for Classics and Archaeology The University of Melbourne © Pierce J Furlong, 2007 Abstract There can be no more important topic in historical studies than chronology, for it is chronology which gives meaning to history by placing individuals, events and material remains within their true sequence. If this sequence does not match historical actuality, then, the historical narrative drawn from the available evidence may appear confused, incomplete or even contradictory. The history of the Near East is bound together by an accurate and continuous absolute chronology which stretches back to the early first millennium BC. However, beyond that point in time we are forced to rely upon relative chronologies for the histories of the Great Kingdoms of Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria and Hatti, amongst others. Scholars have pieced together these relative chronologies over the last one-two centuries using information from King-lists, royal annals and administrative documents. The end result of this major enterprise is, today, what can best be described as an extremely complex but little understood jigsaw puzzle composed of a multiplicity of loosely connected data. Moreover, many of the pieces of this puzzle are missing. For example, while the relative chronology of the Egyptian New Kingdom (18th-20th Dynasties) is fairly well established, it is separated from the absolute chronology of the 7th century BC Saite Dynasty by the chronologically indeterminate and confused Third Intermediate Period (21st-25th Dynasties).

  • Ashur - Assyria
    Ashur - Assyria Assyria, Athura (Aramaic for Assyria), or Aššur (Akkadian for Assyria) was a Semitic Akkadian kingdom, extant as a nation state from the late 25th or early–24th century BC to 605 BC.[1] Assyria was centered on the Upper Tigris river, in northern Mesopotamia (present day northern Iraq). The Assyrians came to rule powerful empires a number of times through history. It was named for its original capital, the ancient city of Assur/Ashur (Akkadian: ��� .(Āšūr آشور :Aššûr; Arabic ַאּׁשּור :Aṯur; Hebrew אתור :� Aššūrāyu; Aramaic As part of the greater Mesopotamian civilization, Assyria was at its height a highly advanced nation for its time in terms of architecture, engineering, agriculture, economics, civil service, mathematics, medicine, literature,military technology, law, astronomy and libraries/record keeping. A number of Assyrian kings showed an early interest in botany and zoology also.[1] Assyria was also sometimes known as Subartu, and after its fall, from 605 BC through to the late 7th century AD variously as Athura, Syria (Greek), Assyria (Latin) and Assuristan. The term Assyria can also refer to the geographic region or heartland where Assyria, its empires and the Assyrian people were and still are centred. The modern Assyrian Christian minority in northern Iraq, north east Syria, south east Turkey and north west Iranare the descendants of the ancient Assyrians (see Assyrian continuity).[2][3] Assyria originally was one of a number of Akkadian city states in Mesopotamia. In the late 24th century BC, Assyrian kings were regional leaders only, and subject to Sargon of Akkad who united all the Akkadian Semitesand Sumerian speaking peoples of Mesopotamia under the Akkadian Empire which lasted from c.

In a treaty between the Hittites and the Mitanni (between Suppiluliuma and Matiwaza, ca. 1380 BC), the deities Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and Nasatya (Ashvins) are invoked. Kikkuli's horse training text (circa 1400 BC) includes technical terms such as aika (eka, one), tera (tri, three), panza (pancha, five), satta (sapta, seven), na (nava, nine), vartana (vartana, round). The numeral aika "one" is of particular importance because it places the superstrate in the vicinity of Indo-Aryan proper as opposed to Indo-Iranian or early Iranian (which has "aiva") in general. Another text has babru'(-nnu)' ('"babhru, brown), parita(-nnu) (palita, grey), and pinkara(-nnu) (pingala, red). Their chief festival was the celebration of the solstice (vishuva) which was common in most cultures in the ancient world.
