Lyon in Cambridge- Mass. und Theo. G. Pinches in London HERAUSGEGEBEN VON CARL BEZOLD UND FRITZ HOMMEL PRIVATDOZENTEN AN DER UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN. Zweck dieses internationalen Unternehmens ist, ein Organ aller Zweige und der Nachbargebiete der babylonisch-assyrischen Sprach- und Alterthumskunde ins Leben zu rufen. Die Zeitschrift soll zu¬ nächst enthalten: a) Kleinere Textveröffentlichungen (wenn auch auszugsweise) ; Col- lationen bereits veröffentlichter Texte. b) Paläographische, grammatische und lexicalische Aufsätze auf dem Gebiete der nichtsemitischen wie semitischen Keilschrift¬ forschung, nebst einschlägigen sprachvergleichenden Studien. c) Beiträge zur Geographie und Geschichte (incl. Chronologie) der Euphrat- und Tigrisländer und der benachbarten Reiche, soweit die der letzteren aus den Denkmälern Beleuchtung erhält. d) Quellenmässige monographische Darstellungen der westasia¬ tischen Religionen, Kunst und Kultur, vor allem der baby¬ lonisch-assyrischen. Die Aufsätze werden in deutscher, englischer, französischer oder italienischer Sprache abgefasst sein, und wird im Interesse der jungen Wissenschaft Sorge dafür getragen werden, jede persönliche Polemik unbedingt auszuschliessen. Die Herausgeber dürfen hoffen, durch Corre¬ spondenzen, Anfragen, Aeusserungen von Zweifeln, Bitten um Aufschluss und sonstige kleinere Mittheilungen auch seitens der nichtassyriologischen Fachgenossen unterstützt, am Schluss jedes Heftes eine Art Sprechsaal eröffnen zu können, um auch hierdurch das rasche und gedeihliche Aufblühen der Assyriologie zu fördern. Dem Unternehmen haben die hervorragendsten in- und ausländischen Vertreter unserer Wissenschaft ihre Hilfe zugesagt. Die „Zeitschrift für Keilschriftforschung“ erscheint in Vierteljahres¬ heften zu je 5—6 Bogen 8° zum jährlichen Subscriptionspreis von i6 M. Man beliebe alles was die Redaction betrifft an Dr. C. Bezold, 34 Brienner-Str. München, alles was die Expedition und den Verlag anbelangt an die Verlagsbuchhandlung von Otto Schulze in Leipzig, 11 Quer-Strasse, zu adressiren. Zur Frage nach der Aussprache der Zischlaute im Babylonisch-Assyrischen. Von Eb. Schrader. Indem ich es unternehme, im Folgenden die Frage nach der Aussprache und dem Wesen der Zischlaute im Babylonisch-Assyrischen wiederholt einer Erörterung zu unterstellen, bemerke ich gleich vorab, dass ich mich dabei auch diesmal in der Betrachtung auf die beiden Laute s und j beschränken werde, indem ich mit s den dem hebräischen ]ü (w, w) irgendwie entsprechenden, mit den dem hebräi¬ schen scharfen D conformen Zischlaut bezeichne. Ueber Wesen und Aussprache der beiden anderen Zischlaute, des weichen z = hebr. T und des emphatischen .y = hebr. K kann für das Babylonisch-Assyrische ein Zweifel überall nicht Statt haben. Wie sich nämlich aus der Wiedergabe babylonischer und assyrischer Namen und Wörter im Hebräischen und hebräischer Eigennamen in den assyri¬ schen Inschriften ergiebt, erscheinen die bezüglichen baby¬ lonisch-assyrischen Lautzeichen überall an der Stelle der betreffenden hebräischen und umgekehrt. Das Babylonisch- Assyrische steht, was diese anderen Zischlaute anbetrifft, durchaus auf der Stufe des Hebräisch - Kanaanäischen. Weder kennt das Babylonisch-Assyrische die Lautspal¬ tungen , wie sie bei diesen Zeichen im Südsemitischen (Arabischen und Aethiopischen, je nachdem!) vorliegen, Zeitschr. f. Keilschriftforschung, I. I 2 Eb. Schrader noch begegnen wir dem Uebergange derselben in gewissen Fällen in die entsprechenden Muten, wie uns dieser im Aramäischen entgegentritt. Ueberall, wo im Hebräischen das emphatische iJ sei es einem arab. \jo, sei es einem arab. (im Aram, y) entspricht u. s. w., begegnen wir auch im Assyrischen dem einen emphatischen Zischlaute 4, und dasselbe gilt bezüglich des hebr. I und assyrischem z gegenüber arab. <j>, bzw. \ u. s. w. Ich verweise in dieser Hinsicht für das Nähere auf die Ausführungen von F. Hommel, zwei Jagdinschriften AsurbanibaV's, Leipzig 1878 S. 44 ff. 47 ff. und P. Haupt, Beiträge zur assyr. Lautlehre, in : Nachrichten von der K. Gesellschaft der Wissensch. zu Göt¬ tingen, 1883 St 4 S. 8g ff 92 ff. Ein Zweifel über die Natur der Zischlaute im Babylonisch - Assyrischen kann vielmehr .entstehen lediglich bei den den hebräisch - kanaanäisc.hen Lauten ty (eine weitere Unterscheidung dieses Lautes nach Analogie des hebr. W und iy existirt im Assyrischen nicht) (s. o.) und D irgendwie entsprechenden Lauten s (= sch, sh) und s. Die Frage ist, welche babylonisch - assyrischen Zeichen zur Wiedergabe des Lautes s (ty) und welche zur Wiedergabe des Lautes (D) verwandt werden, womit dann implicite die andere mitbeantwortet ist, wie über¬ haupt das Verhältniss der betreffenden beiden Zischlaute im Assyrischen dem Hebräisch-Kanaanäischen und weiter den anderen verwandten Sprachen gegenüber sich gestaltet. So einfach nun freilich, wie bei den Lauten 4 (if) und z (»), liegt hier die Sache nicht, und zwar ist es ein Doppeltes, was hier Schwierigkeit macht und Anstoss be¬ reitet. Einmal lehrt schon eine oberflächliche Betrachtung des zu Gebote stehenden Materials, dass von einer ein¬ heitlichen Aussprache je des einen der in Betracht kom¬ menden Zeichen bezw. (für das Babylonisch-Assyrische geredet) der einen der betr. Zeichengruppen (sa, si, su und wiederum sa, si, su ; ferner as, is, us und anderseits as, is, us u. s. f.) keine Rede sein kann : da, wo man nach der Analogie des einen Falls bei Wiedergabe eines fremd- Zur Frage nach der Aussprache der Zischlaute. 3 ländischen Namens das eine Zeichen und die eine Zeichengruppe erwarten sollte, erscheint gerade das nicht erwartete andere Zeichen, bezw. die nicht erwartete andere Zeichengruppe und umgekehrt. Und sodann, folgt man der einen Art der Wiedergabe der Zischlaute bei fremden Namen durch die Babylonier - Assyrer, so er¬ scheinen die danach normirten babylonisch - assyrischen Wurzel Wörter, was Aussprache dieser Zischlaute anbe¬ trifft, z. B. mit den hebräischen

H., Grafenhainichen. This book is dedicated to my dear wife without whose constant encouragement it would never have appeared Preface. The manuscript of this volume has been for the most part in the hands of the publisher since the Summer of 1913. The unavoidable delays, due to the interchange of proofs, and the European war, have belated its appearance. Meanwhile, new Sumerian material, such as Pere Scheil's, Les Plus Anciennes Dynasties Connues de Sumer-Accad; Clay's list of the Kings of Isin in the Yale Babylonian Collection; Poebel's Historical and Grammatical Texts from Nippur in the University of Pennsylvania, and works of the highest importance, such as Delitzsch's Sumerian Grammar and Glossary, Barton's Babylonian Writing, Legrain's Le Temps des Rois D'Ur, Hroznys Getreide im Alten *Babylonien, have appeared. It was inevitable that these should, in some degree, modify and, in a few in- stances, change the views of the author while the various sections of this work were going through the press, and this will account for any inconsistencies that may exist between the translations and the lists and indices, as an interval of more than a year elapsed between the time when the former and the latter were through the press.

  • Andrew George, What's New in the Gilgamesh Epic?
    What’s new in the Gilgamesh Epic? ANDREW GEORGE School of Oriental and African Studies University of London Summary. The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic exists in several different versions. There were at least two versions current during the Old Babylonian period, and no doubt a similar situation obtained later in the second millennium BC, when versions of the epic were copied out in Anatolia, Syria and Palestine, as well as in Mesopotamia proper. But the best-known version is the one called “He who saw the Deep”, which was current in the first-millennium libraries of Assyria and Babylonia. Because this text was so much copied out in antiquity we keep finding more of it, both in museums and in archaeological excavation. This means that editions and translations of the epic must regularly be brought up to date. Some of the more important new passages that are previously unpublished are presented here in translation. WHAT THERE IS It was a great pleasure to be able to share with the Society at the symposium of 20 September 1997 some of the results of my work on the epic of Gilgamesh. My paper of this title was given without a script and was essentially a commentary on the slides that accompanied it. The written paper offered here on the same subject tells the story from the standpoint of one year later. Being the written counterpart of an oral presentation, I hope it may be recognized at least as a distant cousin of the talk given in Toronto. I should say at the outset that my work has been concerned primarily with the textual material in the Akkadian language, that is to say, with the Babylonian poems.

  • Pigs and Plaques: Considering Rm
    IRAQ (2018) Page 1 of 15 Doi:10.1017/irq.2018.10 1 PIGS AND PLAQUES: CONSIDERING RM. 714 IN LIGHT OF COMPARATIVE ARTISTIC AND TEXTUAL SOURCES1 By GINA KONSTANTOPOULOS Rm. 714, a first millennium B.C.E. tablet in the collections of the British Museum, is remarkable for the fine carving of a striding pig in high relief on its obverse. Purchased by Hormuzd Rassam in Baghdad in 1877, it lacks archaeological context and must be considered in light of other textual and artistic references to pigs, the closest parallel being a sow and her piglets seen in the reliefs of Court VI from Sennacherib’s palace at Nineveh. Unlike depictions of pigs on later cylinder seals, where they are often shown as a dangerous quarry in hunting scenes, Rm. 714’s pig appears in a more neutral, non-aggressive posture, similar to the sow in the Assyrian reliefs. Although Rm. 714’s highly curved reverse would inhibit its use as a mounted or otherwise easily displayed object, the tablet may still have served as an apotropaic object or sculptor’s model, among other potential functions. Rm. 714: Introduction This article centers on the analysis of a single tablet, Rm. 714, and the fine carving of a pig found on its obverse. Mesopotamian tablets could serve as the medium for more than cuneiform, and drawings are found on tablets as early as the third millennium B.C.E. Many of these early tablets are otherwise uninscribed, but later examples feature both drawing and cuneiform writing on a single tablet.2 Rm.

Eve Eve Tempted by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, c. 1877 Spouse(s) Adam Children • Cain • Abel • Seth Further information: Adam and Eve :Tigrinya ,ܚܘܐ :Syriac ,ﺣﻮﺍء :Classical Hebrew: Ḥawwāh, Modern Israeli Hebrew: Khavah, Arabic ,חַוָּה :Eve (Hebrew ሕይዋን? or Hiywan) is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. In Islamic tradition, Eve is known as Adam's wife though she is not specifically named in the Qur'an. According to the creation myth of Abrahamic religions, she is the first woman created by God (Yahweh, the god of Israel). Her husband was Adam, from whose rib God created her to be his companion. She succumbs to the serpent's temptation via the suggestion that to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would improve on the way God had made her, and that she would not die, and she, believing the lie of the serpent rather than the earlier instruction from God, shares the fruit with Adam. As a result, the first humans are expelled from the Garden of Eden and are cursed. Though Eve is not a saint's name, the traditional name day of Adam and Eve has been celebrated on December 24 since the Middle Ages in many European countries such as Germany, Hungary, Scandinavia, Estonia, and Lithuania.

  • Editing Gilgamesh, Then and Now * AR George
    Shattered tablets and tangled threads: Editing Gilgamesh, then and now * A. R. George (London) Until about one hundred and fifty years ago all that modern people knew about the Babylonian hero-king, Gilgamesh, was the story in Aelian’s De natura animalium xii. This Roman author, writing in Greek in the second century AD, illustrated his contention that animals often showed kindness to humans with a story of how an eagle swooped down to save the infant Gilgamos as he plummeted to a certain death. The baby, fathered by a phantom and born in secret to a princess, had been cast from a high tower on the orders of the king. The eagle bore him off to a gardener, who brought him up. In due course he became king of the Babylonians in place of his grandfather. As it turns out, almost nothing of this story bears any relation to the traditions handed down about Gilgamesh in the ancient corpus of Babylonian literature that is now in the process of recovery. I stress ‘in the process’ because the work has really only just begun, with most scholars working in the field as pioneers, reading cuneiform texts and researching topics that have not been treated before. The Epic of Gilgamesh, however, has been the subject of much more scholarly attention than average, certainly because it is generally recognized as a great poetic masterpiece with an established place as the first long epic narrative in the history of world literature. History of modern editing The first to make sense of the clay tablets on which the poem was written was George Smith, who was employed by the British Museum in the late 1860s to sort through the fifteen thousand or so broken fragments of Assyrian cuneiform tablets and other inscriptions sent back to the museum from Kuyunjik, the citadel mound of Nineveh, in the early 1850s, chiefly by Austen Henry Layard but also by his assistant Hormuzd Rassam and by W.
