Abstract

The archive of the Egibi family from the 6th century BC originates in Babylon and covers a time span of more than 100 years and five generations. It is known as the largest and most important private archive from the Neo-Babylonian period. Although nearly 800 tablets were already published in cuneiform copies by the end of the 19th century, no comprehensive text edition and study of this archive has been completed so far. This book presents the first step and focuses on the purchase of land (date orchards and arable land) by the Egibi family. About 240 records (property titles and related debt notes, receipts, field plans, etc.) form the core of the archive and are closely interrelated with other aspects of the family's business. Nearly half of them were previously unpublished. The book provides transliterations ans translations of all texts, as well as copies of new material including hitherto unknown sealings of published tablets. The study shows how the Egibi family managed to accumulate considerable wealth in real estate over a relatively short period of time. The impact of inheritance and marriages and the way the estates were damaged are also examined.

Abstract

O presente volume constitui uma contribuição para o desenvolvimento de uma nova temática na investigação antropológica portuguesa: a compreensão dos mecanismos que podem levar uma sociedade a operar ou não operar correlações entre a sua organização social e o agenciamento do seu território. Apresentando-se sob a forma de uma monografia sobre uma aldeia da Beira Baixa, centrada no estudo de dois sistemas interactivos - a estrutura agrária e o sistema de parentesco -, Heranças é um livro profundamente inovador, uma vez que, nomeadamente, não existia até agora na literatura etnológica portuguesa nenhuma descrição e, muito menos, nenhum estudo exaustivo de um sistema de parentesco local.

Abstract

In this critique of Weber's ideas on antiquity, Jairus Banaji argues that the late Roman Empire saw substantial economic and social change propelled by the widely circulated stable gold coinage and a growing aristocracy.
