This book examines a collection of twenty-two literary letters and related compositions – the Sumerian Epistolary Miscellany (SEpM) – studied as part of the Old Babylonian Sumerian scribal curriculum, in an attempt to better understand the education system at this time. The author includes discussion of the nature of the letters as scribal inventions, the pedagogical function of literary letters and compilation tablets, as well as the creation, implementation and consistency of the advanced Sumerian scribal curriculum. The volume also contains critical editions of SEpM as well as ancillary Sumerian letters studied in the Nippur schools, the majority of which were previously unpublished.

"Combining remarkable erudition with a clear and accessible style, Babylon under Western Eyes is the first comprehensive examination of Babylon's significance within the pantheon of western literature and a testimonial to the continuing influence of biblical, classical, and medieval paradigms in modern culture."-- "Babylon under Western Eyes examines the mythic legacy of ancient Babylon, the Near Eastern city which has served western culture as a metaphor for power, luxury, and exotic magnificence for more than two thousand years. Sifting through the many references to Babylon in biblical, classical, medieval, and modern texts, Andrew Scheil uses Babylon's remarkable literary ubiquity as the foundation for a thorough analysis of the dynamics of adaptation and allusion in western literature. Touching on everything from Old English poetry to the contemporary apocalyptic fiction of the "Left Behind" series, Scheil outlines how medieval Christian society and its cultural successors have adopted Babylon as a political metaphor, a degenerate archetype, and a place associated with the sublime."--

La perte de la langue unique est-elle vraiment un drame ? À lire les travaux de nombreux critiques, exégètes ou philosophes contemporains, on pourrait en douter. Si l'image de la tour inachevée évoque encore pour certains un champ de ruines, l'univers babélien qui est le nôtre, celui du multiple, tend souvent désormais à être considéré comme une bienheureuse nécessité - un ordre, au sens le plus noble du terme. La littérature moderne a joué un rôle crucial dans cette volonté d'en finir avec une image négative de Babel. Mais en reprenant ce vieux mythe biblique, des écrivains comme Kafka, Dos Passos, Borges, Pierre Emmanuel ou Paul Auster ne se sont pas contentés d'ouvrir la voie à un renversement axiologique : ils ont subtilement mis au jour le substrat politique, éthique et philosophique du récit, et souligné, en particulier, les enjeux herméneutique et téléologique qui lui sont attachés. Ordre et chaos n'existent qu'à la faveur d'un sens et d'une finalité à l'aune desquels il est possible de les évaluer.

The most impressive legacy of the Dynasty of Akkade (ca. 2310-2160 B.C.E.) was the widespread, popular legends of its kings. Dr. Westenholz offers an annotated edition of all the known legends of the Akkadian kings, with transliteration, translation, and commentary. Of particular interest to biblical scholars is the inclusion of “The Birth Legend of Sargon,” which is often compared to Moses in Exodus.
