|  | Hebrew Studies Miscellany by Paul de Lagarde
In this set of articles originally published together in his booklet Orientalia, Lagarde addresses several issues concerning Hebrew studies. The first article, Explanation of Hebrew Words, addresses the use of twelve significant lexemes. Added to this essay is a contribution of Lagarde to the Hebrew reflected in Ephraim the Syrian’s work on Genesis, extant in Armenian. Select passages from Genesis 2 through 38 are given consideration in the light of philological investigation. Together these pieces represent a useful collection of insights into the Hebrew language both through classic philology and through the ecclesiastical interpretation of a scholar in the tradition of Syriac Christianity. |
|  | Current Issues and the Study of the Ancient Near East by
Beginning with the earliest civilizations known, this book begins with an essay by Gonzalo Rubio exploring the field of Sumerian and Babylonian studies, the realm of southern Mesopotamia. Following a northern arc, the next essay, by Steven J. Garfinkle, considers the Assyrians as they are currently being viewed. Gary Beckman then addresses the present trends in the study of the Hittites in Anatolia. The final essay brings the discussion to the familiar realms of the biblical world directly with a contribution by Daniel C. Snell considering Syria-Palestine in present-day research. |
|  | Altbabylonische Urkunden aus Sippara by Thomas Friedrich
Sippar had yielded thousands of clay tablets and these were still being published in this period. Texts are given in transliteration and translation, and commentary is included. The next section concerns the representation from seal impressions, those categorized by gods and those categorized by epic. A comparison of names and an overview of published cuneiform texts also play a role in the discussion. The texts are presented in line drawings and photographs of cylinder-seal impressions conclude the work. |

Comparison is also made with other ancient tales that bear resemblance to those contained in this volume. Further remarks by H. Zimmern on the Adapa legend are also included.

| Title: | Zur Erklärung der Babylonisch-Assyrischen Brieflitteratur | | Series: | Analecta Gorgiana 92 | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press |
| |
| By Friedrich Delitzsch | | ISBN: | 978-1-60724-011-2 | | Availability: | In Print | | Publication Date: | 1/2010 | | Language: | German | | Format: | Paperback, Black, 6 x 9 in | | Pages: | 125 |
In this formative study of the Babylonian and Assyrian letters, originally published over three articles in Beiträge zur Assyriologie, Delitzsch presents in transliteration and translation, 40 Akkadian letters, along with critical notes and remarks. These letters are addressed to the Queen-Mother and to the King and generally date from the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods and contexts. An example of early analysis of the still-young discipline of Assyriology, this study provides insights into the dynamics of royal life in the late Mesopotamian empires. Bringing the literature together allows for a level of comparison easily overlooked when documents are viewed without the benefit of other exemplars. An important piece of the then-emerging field of Assyriology, this collection will be appreciated by historians of the field as well as by those who wish to reexamine classic contributions to the study of Mesopotamia.
Friedrich Delitzsch (1850-1922) was a German Assyriologist and Biblical Scholar. He studied at Leipzig and Berlin and taught at Leipzig, Breslau, and Berlin. He was one of the founders of the Deutschen Orientgesellschaft.
