The dating of some Archaic Biblical Hebrew poems to the late second millennium – early first millennium BCE on the basis of a handful of linguistic forms in common with second millennium Ugaritic and Amarna-Canaanite texts is brought into question. This critique highlights the problems with the arguments and hypotheses presented in the literature, and concludes that there is no compelling evidence to support the use of linguistic data for dating purposes. |
|  | Studien zu den El-Amarna-Tafeln by J. Knudtzon
J. A. Knudtzon is generally remembered for two major accomplishments: the initial recognition that Hittite might be an Indo-European language and the publication of the El Amarna tablets. In these two articles on the Amarna tablets, a first blush is given to the material that would eventually be his claim to fame. This booklet consists of the combination of three of Knudtzon’s works on the Amarna tablets: “Ergebisse einer Kollation der El-Amarna-Tafeln,” “Weitere Studien zu den El-Amarna-Tafeln,” and “Nachträge und Berichtigungen zu ‘Weitere Studien zu den El-Amarna-Tafeln,’” as published in Beiträge zur Assyriologie volume 4. |
|  | Purim by Paul Haupt
Approaching the question of Purim historically, Haupt notes that the book of Esther was composed during the reign of Judas Maccabeus, and he correlates the festival to the Babylonian New Year. He discusses the origin of the title “purim” from various languages, ultimately deciding on the Old Persian explanation. Moving forward, Haupt brings the festival into the more modern period, showing how the ancient tradition continues to exist. A useful resource for anyone interested in turn-of-the-century thought on the origins of an enigmatic biblical festival, this contribution is both readable to the layperson and scholarly as well. |
|  | A New Fragment of the Babylonian Etana Legend by Morris Jastrow
This fragment of the Babylonian Etana legend was first published in this brief paper by Morris Jastrow. The fragment is presented here in transliteration and translation along with the able textual commentary of an acknowledged leader among philologists. Following the presentation of the text, Jastrow also offers an interpretation of the text, suggesting where within the Etana legend the fragment fits. Line drawings and photographs of this singular fragment accompany the text of the article. Also included in this volume is a brief piece by Friedrich Delitzsch on Neo-Babylonian contract tablets. |
| ![]() | The Ship of the Babylonian Noah by Paul Haupt
One of the lasting myths of antiquity, the flood narrative appears in many venues and requires close attention by scholars of the ancient world. In this detailed study of the Mesopotamian version of the flood account, Haupt focuses on the provisioning and the description of the Babylonian ark. The culmination of his observations comes in a transcription of the problematic section, along with a full translation and notes. |

In this widely cited study of the hymns and prayers to Marduk, Hehn has brought together a very useful resource for students of Babylonian religion. He begins this important work with a discussion of the genealogy of Marduk and then his sphere of influence. The names of Marduk are discussed as is his role as a determiner of fate. Marduk’s function as the protector of Babylon and his persona compared to the biblical idea of the divine, as well as the conflict with the dragon are addressed. There follow several texts that fit into the categories of hymns and prayers to Marduk. Each one is given in transliteration, translation, and with comments. The study concludes with line drawings of the individual tablets. This substantial collection of material on the major deity of Babylon in antiquity remains a valuable source for students of ancient Near Eastern religions today.
Johannes Hehn (1873-1932) studied at the universities of Würzburg and Berlin. He returned to teach at Würzburg.
