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. |
|  | Zur Erklärung der Babylonisch-Assyrischen Brieflitteratur by Friedrich Delitzsch
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. |
|  | 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. This study is accompanied by hand-drawn copies of the cuneiform tablets and a photographic archive of the various fragments of the texts. |

In this detailed study of the Mesopotamian version of the flood account, Haupt focuses on the provisioning and the description of the Babylonian ark. This section of the flood story had been notoriously difficult to transcribe and translate, possessing, as it does, a high number of words unknown at the time. Haupt undertook this little study in order to clarify the ambiguities in the text. Lexical and contextual studies abound in this brief exploration of a most important document from the ancient world. The culmination of his observations comes in a transcription of the problematic section, along with a full translation and notes. One of the lasting myths of antiquity, the flood narrative appears in many venues and requires close attention by scholars of the ancient world. Haupt’s insights into an early version of this story, which later appears in the Bible as well, will be of interest to serious scholars of the ancient Near East.
Paul Haupt (1858-1926) was a renowned biblical scholar and Assyriologist. He wrote works on many of the books of the Jewish Scriptures and matters of Semitic linguistic import. He received his doctorate degree in Semitic Languages from the University of Leipzig. He taught at the University of Göttingen and Johns Hopkins University and was a founder of Beiträge zur Assyriologie and also became coeditor with Friedrich Delitzsch of the Beiträge zur Assyriologie und semitischen Sprachwissenschaft. Professionally active, he served as President of both the Society of Biblical Literature and the American Oriental Society.
