1	Grammatical studies in the Akkadian dialects of Babylon and Uruk, 556-500 B.C Hueter, Gwyneth January 1996 (has links) Neo-Babylonian (NB) was the last surviving dialect of the Semitic language known as Akkadian and it was still being used for the compilation of records at the beginning of our era. Many thousands of NB economic and legal documents and letters exist, particularly from the sixth century B.C., yet the language is still to be studied, as the various ways in which a word could be spelled suggested it was no longer coherent as a language and therefore that it was not worth studying. Aramaic was presumed to have taken over. I have attempted to find out if this is the case by making a synchronic grammatical study of the NB dialects of Babylon and Uruk from 556 to 500 B.C. These cities have been chosen because they have produced considerable amounts of material. The period also spans the Persian conquest of 539 B.C. Part one deals with syntax and morphology. Consistency of syntactical patterns indicates that NB was a living and evolving language and that the influence of Aramaic and Old Persian was minimal. Part two deals with orthography and suggestions on pronunciation and stress. The main difficulty in establishing how much NB has changed from earlier phases of Akkadian (including earlier NB) lies in understanding how the loss of short final vowels has changed word shape. The extent to which words could end in consonant clusters is not clear as cuneiform is unable to represent consonant clusters in word final position. I conclude that the lack of difference between the NB dialects of Babylon and Uruk suggests that efforts were being made to preserve the language and that the scribal teaching methods must have been similar in the two cities. 410 Neo-Babylonian; Semitic language
2	L'armée en Babylonie du VIè au IVè siècle av. N. È / Military in Babylonia from 6th to 4th BCE Gombert, Bruno 06 July 2018 (has links) Traiter de l'armée en Babylonie du VIe au IVe siècle av. n. è. consiste moins en une étude sur la guerre qu'en un essai d'histoire économique, sociale et institutionnelle, puisque la documentation cunéiforme produite à cette époque est constituée essentiellement de sources de la pratique. La nature de l'armée qui permit l'émergence et l'expansion de l'empire néo-babylonien (622-539 av. n. è.) a été étudiée à partir de trois milieux sociaux qui contribuaient à sa construction: Les temples qui fournissaient à l'armée royale des troupes d'appoint, formées par leurs oblats, une catégorie d'individus non libres qui leur avaient été dédiés, parmi lesquels certains étaient formés au maniement des armes. Les élites babyloniennes qui payaient une redevance en compensation du service, mais dont la participation se développe surtout à l'époque achéménide. Les colons militaires, des soldats souvent non babyloniens qui avaient reçu une parcelle allouée de la Couronne en échange d'une redevance en nature et d'une obligation de service militaire. À partir de 539 av. n. è. l'armée néo-babylonienne est démantelée suite à la conquête de Babylone par Cyrus le Grand et la région est intégrée au nouvel empire achéménide (539-331 av. 11.-è.). Cependant, les structures institutionnelles qui permettaient sa construction sont maintenues, voire développée dans le cas des notables, non plus uniquement pour fournir des soldats, mais aussi des travailleurs qui allaient se rendre en Perse participer aux grands chantiers organisés par l'administration royale. Pareillement, les souverains achéménides profitèrent du riche espace agricole pour poursuivre la politique d'attribution de terres aux soldats. / Studying the Army in Babylonia between the 6th and the 4th century BCE consists less of a "war study” than an essay on economic, social and institutional history as Cuneiform documentation originating from this period consist essentially of administrative and economic texts. The composition of the military which allowed the emergence and expansion of the Neo Babylonian empire (622 -539 BCE), is studied from the perspective of three social backgrounds which contributed to its establishment: The temples which provided the royal army with support troops, issued from their oblates, a category of individuals denied of freedom who were dedicated to the temple. Some of them were trained in handling weapons. The Babylonian traditional elites who paid a fee to compensate for the service. Their participation developed mainly from the Achaemenid Period Military colonists who were non-Babylonian soldiers receiving an allotment from the Crown in exchange of a fee paid in kind and a duty of military service From 539 BCE onward, the Babylonian army was probably dismantled following the Babylonian conquest by Cyrus the Great and the region was integrated to the new Achaemenid empire (539 -331 BCE). Nonetheless, institutional structures enabling its establishment were maintained or developed in the case of the contribution of the notability, providing soldiers but also workers travelling to Persia to participate in the large construction works of the Royal administration. In a similar way, the Achaemenid kings made use of the rich agricultural lands in order to pursue the policy consisting of allocating lands to soldiers.

3	Étude d'une archive d'une famille de notables de la ville d'Ur du VIe au IVe siècle av. J.-C. : l'archive des Gallābu / Study of an archive of a nobility familyfrom the city of Ur from the 4th to the 6th century BC : the Gallabu archive Popova, Olga 28 June 2018 (has links) La thèse présente la première édition complète et commentée des textes de l'archive de la famille Gallabu, une archive provenant de la ville d'Ur, au sud de la Babylonie. Il s'agit d'une famille de prébendiers-barbiers qui ont laissé la plus longue archive privée du Ier millénaire avant J.-C. Les documents de l'archive s'étalent sur 260 ans et couvrent les périodes néo-babylonienne, achéménide et hellénistique. La thèse présente une réflexion sur la nature de l'archive des Gallabu et étudie l'histoire particulière de la famille et de son patrimoine. La famille des Gallabu est placée par la suite dans un contexte politique et socio-économique plus large pour étudier de différents aspects de la vie socio-économique des notables urbains à Ur au Ier millénaire avant J.-C., la seconde ville méridionale la plus importante à cette époque. / This work presents the first complete and annotated edition of the texts from the Gallabu family archive, from the city of Ur in southern Babylonia. It is a family of prebendaries-barbers that left the longest known private archive in the first century BC. Documents of the archive cover over 260 years and include Neo-Babylonian, Achaemenid, and Hellenistic periods. The thesis provides an insight into the nature of the Gallabu archive and examines the history of the family and its heritage. The family of Gallabu is considered within a political and socio-economic context in order to study different aspects of the socio-economic life of the urban elite of the city of Ur in the first millennium BC, the second most important city in southern Babylonia at the time.

4	Babylone, ville du roi au premier millénaire av. J.-C. / Babylon, City of the King in the First Millennium BC Cousin, Laura 26 November 2016 (has links) Au premier millénaire, Babylone est la plus grande ville de Mésopotamie, et est surtout considérée, par les Babyloniens et dans l' historiographie contemporaine, comme la ville des dieux et une ville sacrée de première importance. Face à cette prédominance du fait religieux, l' un des enjeux de ce travail est de s' interroger sur la place laissée au roi temporel, et plus généralement au pouvoir politique, dans la ville de Babylone. Cette thèse s'articule en trois points : comment le roi temporel s' inscrit- il dans la ville du souverain éternel, cité à la topographie sacralisée? En quoi Babylone est-elle au fondement d' une royauté sacralisée ? Et enfin, quelles sont les manifestations concrètes du pouvoir royal temporel dans Babylone ? Fondée sur l' étude d'inscriptions royales commémoratives, de mythes et de documents de la pratique, cette étude permet, ainsi, de revoir et de réapprécier le rôle de Babylone en tant que capitale politique, et tente de parvenir à un rééquilibrage du rôle du souverain temporel à l' intérieur de la ville de Marduk. / In the first millennium BC, Babylon is the bigest city of Mesopotamia. lt is mostly regarded by the Babylonians and by contemporary historiography as the city of the gods, and as the most important sacred city. Facing this predominance of religion, one of the challenges of this work is to question the place left to the temporal king, and more generally, to political power in the city of BabyIon. This dissertation is divided into three points : how the temporal king fit into thecity of the eternal ruIer, city with sacred topography ? ln what BabyIon is on the basis of a sacred kingship ? And finally, what are the concrete manifestations of the temporal royal power in Babylon ? Based on the study of commemorative royal inscriptions, myths and documents issued from private and institutional archives, the aim of this study is to review and reassess the role of BabyIon as political capital, and attempts to achieve a rebalancing of the role of the temporalsovereign within the city of Marduk.

5	The Arabs of north Arabia in later pre-Islamic times : Qedar, Nebaioth, and others Shuaib, Marwan Ghazi January 2014 (has links) This study discusses the history of the Arabs of north Arabia in later pre-Islamic times. This study provides an in-depth discussion of Arab ethnicity, which contributes to the improvement of our knowledge regarding this controversial issue. This study argues that the Arab nation is, in fact, a very old one of great importance, but the Arabs themselves had no consciousness of their unity and did not leave inscriptions proclaiming their identity as Arabs or claim to be the rightful proprietors of specific territories. An examination is made of the reasons behind the emergence of kingship in different communities through the course of history, in order to determine the general features of kingship. This study demonstrates that kingship in north Arabia had almost every feature of kingship as it appeared in other places. Particular attention is paid in the study to delivering a full and coherent account of the history of Qedar. Although, some scholars have tried to write the history of Qedar, their works remain fragmentary or inconsistent. Basing the examination not merely on most of the previous works, we subject those works to a comparison with the Assyrian inscriptions. By so doing, it has proved possible to critique the previous works and clarify many ambiguous issues in Qedarite history. Moreover, this study contributes to the improvement of our knowledge regarding Nebaioth and Na-ba-a-a-ti and their relationship with the Nabataeans. This study finds that the Nebaioth and Nabataeans were different, contemporary groups living during the sixth century BCE, even though the first direct and uncontested evidence of the Nabataeans of Petra comes from the late fourth century BCE, when the Nabataeans made their first clear appearance in Diodorus Siculus in connection with the expansion of the Seleucid Empire (312 BCE). The main settlement centres in north Arabia are discussed in depth in Chapter Five. This study traces the history of Tayma, Adummatu and Dedan, establishing the importance of those oases and their relationship with Mesopotamia. The discussion of those oases produces useful results, which contribute to improving our knowledge and assist in our understanding of issues relating to the history of those sites. 953
6	O primeiro templo de Jerusalém segundo o imaginário pós-exílico: um estudo de sua relevância, função social e seus aspectos Montalvão, Sérgio Aguiar 21 October 2015 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T19:20:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Sergio Aguiar Montalvao.pdf: 4155492 bytes, checksum: a213811f014ea7757553427efbefe028 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-10-21 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This doctoral thesis aims to present what came to be built through the Solomon s First Temple Imaginary, which many people still believe in the nowadays that it is factual. However, the Temple as presented in the Hebrew Bible never existed, because no more than an annex king s palace; it s also not factual the myths circulating the kings David and Solomon, which were not as grand as the Hebrew Bible points. Nevertheless, on two occasions in the history of Judah, the Deuteronomist Revolution and the Return of the Captivity, the Temple had a centralizating function and required many founding myths to legitimize it. With such myths, the people who were near the Temple felt more part of the House of Yahweh for believing participate of a plan established by the Creator of the Universe and all the stories invented and developed by the Deuteronomist and the Priestly gave them greatest joy and hope. What happened in fact was the king s power legitimacy in the context of Deuteronomist Reform and the priest s power in the return of the Captivity in the early Persian period. As for the post-exile, for being a more recent period, is greater amount of elements that characterize the stimulation of popular imaginary regarding the First Temple than in the period of the Deuteronomist Reform, despite the latter being period of prosperity for the Kingdom of Judah / A presente tese de doutorado visa apresentar o que veio a ser construído através do imaginário sobre o Primeiro Templo de Salomão, o qual muitas pessoas ainda acreditam nos dias de hoje que seja factual. Entretanto, o Templo, conforme o apresentado na Bíblia Hebraica, jamais existiu, pois não passava de um anexo do palácio do rei; tão pouco são factuais os mitos que circulam em torno dos reis Davi e Salomão, que não foram tão grandiosos quanto a Bíblia Hebraica aponta. Apesar disso, em dois momentos da História de Judá, na Revolução Deuteronomista e no Retorno do Cativeiro, o Templo teve uma função centralizadora e necessitava de diversos mitos fundantes para ser legitimado. Com tais mitos, o povo que estava próximo ao Templo sentia-se mais parte da Casa de Yahweh por acreditar fazer parte de um plano estabelecido pelo Criador do Universo e todas as histórias inventadas e elaboradas pelo Deuteronomista e pelo Sacerdotal lhes davam maior alegria e esperança. O que houve, de fato, foi a legitimação do poder do rei, no contexto da Reforma Deuteronomista, e do poder do Sacerdote, no retorno do Cativeiro, no começo do Período Persa. No pós-exílio, por ser um período mais recente, encontra-se maior quantidade de elementos que caracterizam o estímulo do imaginário popular sobre o Primeiro Templo do que no período da Reforma Deuteronomista, apesar deste último ser um período de prosperidade para o Reino de Judá Primeiro Templo Jerusalém História antiga Idade do Bronze e do Ferro Período Neobabilônico Período Persa First Temple Jerusalem Ancient history Bronze and Iron Age Neo-Babylonian Period Persian Period
7	The role of the priests in Israelite identity formation in the exilic/post-exilic period with special reference to Leviticus 19:1-19a / Rol van die priesters in die Israelitiese identiteitsvorming tydens die ballingskaps-/ na-ballingskapstydperk met spesiale verwysing na Levitikus 19:1-19a Beer, Leilani 07 1900 (has links) Bibliography: leaves 289-298 / Source-criticism of the Pentateuch suggests that the priests (Source P) alone authored the Holiness Code – the premise being that Source P forms one religious, literate and elite group of several. Through the endeavor to redefine Israelite identity during the Neo-Babylonian Empire of 626–539 BCE and the Achaemenid Persian Empire of 550–330 BCE, various ideologies of Israelite identity were produced by various religious, literate and elite groups. Possibly, the Holiness Code functions as the compromise reached between two such groups, these being: the Shaphanites, and the Zadokites. Moreover, the Holiness Code functions as the basis for the agreed identity of Israel as seen by the Shaphanites and the Zadokites. Specifically, in Leviticus 19:1-19a – as being the Levitical decalogue of the Holiness Code, and which forms the emphasis of this thesis – both Shaphanite and Zadokite ideologies are expressed therein. The Shaphanite ideology is expressed through the Mosaic tradition: i.e., through the Law; and the Zadokite ideology is expressed through the Aaronide tradition: i.e., through the Cult. In the debate between the supremacy of the Law, or the Cult – i.e., Moses or Aaron – the ancient Near Eastern convention of the ‘rivalry between brothers’ is masterfully negotiated in Leviticus 19:1-19a. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D.
