 +//Abstract//: The Monumental Reliefs of the Elamite Highlands documents and analyzes for the first time a corpus of eighteen monumental highland reliefs from the Elamite civilization in ancient Iran, which—hitherto preserved by their remote location and anonymous existence—have recently become imperiled by an influx of tourists and the development of the surrounding landscapes. With this book, Javier Álvarez-Mon aims to safeguard this important part of Iran’s cultural heritage.
 +The eighteen reliefs presented in this volume are spread across the valley of Izeh/Malamir (Xong-e Azdhar, Shah Savar, Shekaft-e Salman, and Kul-e Farah), the Ghale Tol plain (Qal-e Tul), the Mamasani Fahliyan river region (Kurangun), and the Marvdasht plain (Naqsh-e Rustam). In his analysis of these reliefs, Álvarez-Mon draws from the complementary disciplines of art history and archaeology, giving equal weight to the archaeological context of these artifacts and traditional methods of artistic analysis in order to determine the nature and significance of each artifact’s form and theme. At the same time, the book’s dual emphases on ritual-religious and aesthetic-ecological phenomena respond to the contemporary challenges of the dissociation of human existence from nature and the commodification of the environment on an unsustainable scale, presenting the preservation of this remarkable corpus of monumental art as a matter of urgency.

 +** Penn Museum Middle East Galleries ** 
 +
 +//Title//: Tinney, S., and K. Sonik, //Journey to the city: a companion to the Middle East galleries at the Penn Museum//, Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 2019. 
 +
 +//Keywords//: Philadelphia - Penn Museum - research - archaeological excavations - ancient Middle East - Middle East Galleries - planning - galleries - concepts - museology - urbanisation - Mesopotamia - Persia - modern Philadelphia 
 +
 +//Abstract//: The Penn Museum has a long and storied history of research and archaeological exploration in the ancient Middle East. This book highlights this rich depth of knowledge while also serving as a companion volume to the Museum's signature Middle East Galleries opening in April 2018. This edited volume includes chapters and integrated short, focused pieces from Museum curators and staff actively involved in the detailed planning of the new galleries. In addition to highlighting the most remarkable and interesting objects in the Museum's extraordinary Middle East collections, this volume illuminates the primary themes within these galleries (make, settle, connect, organize, and believe) and provides a larger context within which to understand them.
 +
 +The ancient Middle East is home to the first urban settlements in human history, dating to the fourth millennium BCE; therefore, tracing this move toward city life figures prominently in the book. The topic of urbanization, how it came about and how these early steps still impact our daily lives, is explored from regional and localized perspectives, bringing us from Mesopotamia (Ur, Uruk, and Nippur) to Islamic and Persianate cites (Rayy and Isfahan) and, finally, connecting back to life in modern Philadelphia. Through examination of topics such as landscape, resources, trade, religious belief and burial practices, daily life, and nomads, this very important human journey is investigated both broadly and with specific case studies.

 +//Abstract//: Two dozen articles are devoted to the Assyriologist Helmut Freydank. In accordance with his special field of research several focus on Assyrian, especially Middle Assyrian, and Hittite topics. Almost a monograph by itself, S. Salah offers a complete and annotated inventory of the inhabitants of Dūr-Katlimmu. Hittite and Babylonian rituals and incantations are dealt with by contributions of B. Böck, B. Christiansen and S.M. Maul. A. Schmitt provides the reader with an update on Assyrian pedestals with divine symbols (Symbolsockel). Juridical questions of Hittite, Old, Middle and Neo-Assyrian periods are debated by B. Faist, D. Prechel, D. Shibata and K.R. Veenhof.

 +//Abstract//: This book treats the alphabet scribes in Mesopotamia in the Late Babylonian period (6th-5th centuries BCE). Bloch defends the understanding of the term sēpiru as a designation of alphabet scribes, discusses the functions of sēpiru professionals in Babylonia, and discusses their ethnic origins, with special attention to the participation of Judeans in Babylonia in this profession. The monograph includes translations of over 100 Late Babylonian economic, legal, and administrative documents. ([[https://www.degruyter.com/viewbooktoc/product/534674|table of content]])

 +//Abstract//: This book contains the proceedings of the 9th Melammu Symposium which took place in Helsinki and Tartu from May 18-24, 2015. The meeting was part of Robert Rollinger's "Finland Distinguished Professorship", a position he held from 2010-2015 at the Department of World Cultures, University of Helsinki where he was Research Director of the project "Intellectual Heritage of the Ancient Near East". One of the major tasks of this position was to revitalize the Melammu Project, thus encouraging international, transdisciplinary research in studies of the Ancient World. The 9th Melammu Symposium was a kind of final event of the "Intellectual Heritage of the Ancient Near East" project which was conceptualized, planned, and organized by the two editors of this volume together with an international committee of renowned scholars who were in charge of the different thematic sessions of the meeting. The dense program of the conference consisted of 42 papers and 15 poster-presentations, which, in particular, enabled young scholars to present their research to an international audience of specialists in different fields. The main aim of this specific Melammu Symposium was to foster collaboration between Classicists and Assyriologists. Accordingly, we conceptualized eight thematic sessions, which were organized by two session organizers, one of them a classicist, the other an Assyriologist (or Hittitologist). In addition, a general session and a young researcher's workshop took place. The session organizers invited the participants for their sessions and discussed the topics with them. All the sessions were framed by a general introduction to the topic and a response to the papers by the session organizers. ([[http://melammu-project.eu/symposia/sypr09cont.pdf|table of content]])

 +//Abstract//: Rituale und Gebete dienten im Alten Orient als Mittel zur Abwehr von Unheil verschiedener Art. Mit ihrer Hilfe sollte ein gutes Einvernehmen mit den Göttern hergestellt werden, von denen man Glück, Gesundheit und Schutz vor dem Zugriff unheilvoller Machte erhoffte. Der Band stellt 65 babylonisch-assyrische Keilschrifttexte mit Beschreibungen solcher Rituale und Gebeten vor: Darunter finden sich Beschreibungen von Therapien, welche die Heilung von Augen- und Ohrenleiden sowie anderen Gebrechen in Aussicht stellen, Anweisungen für Liebeszauber, Verfahren zur Abwehr von drohendem Unheil und Schadenzauber, Regeln für einen Besucher des Palastes, um mit Amuletten und Zaubersprüchen den Erfolg seiner Anliegen zu befördern, Handlungsanleitungen für Riten, die dafur sorgen sollten, dass sich der Feind den Grenzen des Landes nicht näherte, die Beschreibung einer Liturgie, in deren sakramentalem Rahmen sich das von Menschen gemachte Götterbild in die Gottheit selbst verwandelte und vieles andere mehr. Alle hier in Bearbeitung und Kopie publizierten Tontafeln wurden wahrend der Ausgrabungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft in der assyrischen Hauptstadt Assur gefunden. Die genaue Fundstelle innerhalb der Stadt ist leider oft nicht mehr zu ermitteln. Viele der neuassyrischen Texte durften jedoch aus dem sogenannten "Haus des Beschwörungspriesters" stammen. Fur die Mehrzahl der mittel- und frühneuassyrischen Tafeln kann man eine Herkunft aus den Ruinen des Assur-Tempels vermuten.

 +//Abstract//: L'ouvrage, en deux volumes, constitue l'editio princeps des textes cuneiforms en langue hourrite (XIII siecle av. J.C.) provenant des fouilles francaises dirigees par Jean-Claude Margueron a Meskene, l'ancienne Emar, sur l'Euphrate syrien, au cours des campagnes des annees 1972-1975. Les tablettes sont conservees au Musee d'Alep, avec les documents ecrits en akkadien publies par Daniel Arnaud. Leur contenu, essentiellement divinatoire, comporte de nombreuses abreviations cryptees qui en rendent l'interpretation difficile. Le style, le vocabulaire et la grammaire de ces textes appartenant a une langue non semitique et non indoeuropeenne, presentent de grandes differences avec les autres archives hourrites connues, notamment celles provenant de Bogazkoy et la "letter du Mittanni". Un lexique comparatif avec la documentation hourrite attestee et propose.
