This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 Excerpt: ..."O mighty god!" 18. For the city Durilu cf. Delitzsch, Paradies, p. 230. The sign-group DUR.AN.KI is, however, also explained by Jensen (Kosmologic, p. 485, n. 1) as a cosmic locality, "the place of the junction of heaven and earth". 23. The restoration a-na a-si-ka may be regarded as almost certain, supported as it is both by the traces on the tablet and by the variant reading ana-ka of the duplicate A. 71. Before the incantation commencing with this line the duplicate D appears to have contained some directions for ceremonies, of which however only traces of three characterremain. Cf. pi. 12, n. 1. 73. In line 74 we should have expected some expression similar to baiu ittiki or tidi for the two infinitives to depend on Taking the text as it stands we must assume that the second aSSum does not commence a fresh clause, but is merely a repetition of the first, the infinitives in 1. 74 depending, like those in the following line, on baiu ittika. These three lines, describing the judicial but at the same time compassionate character of the goddess, give the reason for the appeal made in 1. 73. 79. On the probable restoration of the beginning of this line cf. infra sub No. 7, 1. 16. For as-fjur-ki the duplicate E evidently reads some other verb, the traces of which may be taken to represent either-kid-ki, or possibly-dan ki the reading of D, so far as it goes, agrees with that of E. 80. Though the meaning is clear the construction of upuntu mufi-ri-in-ni-nia is unusual. While the suffix forms the direct object, upuntu must also be regarded as governed by the verb: "Accept me in respect of the upuntu", i. e. "accept my offering of the upu/itu-pa.nt". For a discussion of the meaning of upuntu cf. Jensen, ZK. II, p. 3if, whe...

A History of Sumer and Akkad: An Account of the Early Races of Babylonia from Prehistoric Times to the Foundation of the Babylonian Monarchy

(From the preface: "THE excavations carried out in Babylon...)

From the preface: "THE excavations carried out in Babylonia and Assyria during the last few years have added immensely to our knowledge of the early history of those countries, and have revolutionized many of the ideas current with regard to the age and character of Babylonian civilization. In the present volume, which deals with the history of Sumer and Akkad, an attempt is made to present this new material in a connected form, and to furnish the reader with the results obtained by recent discovery and research, so far as they affect the earliest historical periods. An account is here given of the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia, and of the early city-states which were formed from time to time in the lands of Sumer and Akkad, the two great divisions into which Babylonia was at that period divided. The primitive sculpture and other archaeological remains, discovered upon early Babylonian sites, enable us to form a fairly complete picture of the races which in those remote ages inhabited the country. By their help it is possible to realize how the primitive conditions of life were gradually modified, and how from rude beginnings there was developed the comparatively advanced civilization, which was inherited by the later Babylonians and Assyrians and exerted a remarkable influence upon other races of the ancient world. In the course of this history points are noted at which early contact with other lands took place, and it has been found possible in the historic period to trace the paths by which Sumerian culture was carried beyond the limits of Babylonia. Even in prehistoric times it is probable that the great trade routes of the later epoch were already open to traffic, and cultural connections may well have taken place at a time when political contact cannot be historically proved. This fact must be borne in mind in any treatment of the early relations of Babylonia with Egypt. As a result of recent excavation and research it has been found necessary to modify the view that Egyptian culture in its earlier stages was strongly influenced by that of Babylonia. But certain parallels are too striking to be the result of coincidence, and, although the southern Sumerian sites have yielded traces of no prehistoric culture as early as that of the Neolithic and predynastic Egyptians, yet the Egyptian evidence suggests that some contact may have taken place between the prehistoric peoples of North Africa and Western Asia."
