This volume in honour of Karel Van Lerberghe contains 47 contributions by his colleagues and students dealing with the history and archaeology of the Syro-Mesopotamian area. The focus on Syria and on the Old-Babylonian period reflects Karel's main research interests. Quite some cuneiform tablets are published here for the first time (both in hand-copy and with the help of the Portable Light Dome). Most recent archaeological field research is presented in contributions concerning Ugarit, Tell Tweini, Tell Beydar and many other sites.

A collection of sealed tablets emanating from a fortress on the Tigris called Dūr-Abiešuḫ provides us with substantial Old Babylonian texts and information on the affairs of the city as well as on its relations to Nippur during a period when Nippur appears to have been partially abandoned, after the 30th year of the reign of Samsuiluna (1749-1738 BCE). What transpired at Nippur when Samsuiluna lost control? Until now we had only scarce data suggesting that most of the population left the city and moved further to the North, just as what happened in the other cities to the South, such as Uruk and Larsa. This group of texts housed at Cornell University and published in this volume contain exciting information concerning the partial abandonment of Nippur and how the clergy built a new Ekur (temple) dedicated to Enlil, thus giving credibility to the thesis that the religious institutions might have transferred from Nippur to Babylon. The probable location of Dūr-Abiešuḫ in northern Babylonia, not far from Ḫarradum is argued along with a discussion of changes in the history of Mesopotamian watercourses, particularly the possible extension of the Ḫammurabi-nuḫuš-nišī canal to the North which would have explained the building of a Dam on the Tigris at Dūr-Abiešuḫ in order to insure the continued supply of water to the cities in the South. One of the tablets indeed mentions that Nippur could still be reached by boat using the 30 km canal between Dūr-Abiešuḫ and Nippur.

Rassemblant pour la première fois des objets venant du monde entier, cette exposition souhaite réconcilier l'histoire et la légende de Babylone. Sont évoqués le rayonnement et les étapes fondatrices de la ville antique et la manière dont le concept ultérieur d'une Babylone imaginaire prend son origine dans cette réalité historique. Cette nouvelle approche est rendue possible grâce à des études permettant de retracer une histoire qui ne dépende plus fondamentalement des sources bibliques ou classiques tardives. Les grandes époques de la civilisation babylonienne sont rappelées en s'appuyant sur la présentation de stèles, de statues et statuettes, d'objets précieux, de documents et de textes, de tablettes cunéiformes, de papyrus et de manuscrits. L'évolution de la représentation mythique et des traditions légendaires symboliques de Babylone est également abordée à travers un ensemble d'imprimés, de dessins, de peintures et de miniatures. Babylone est vue sous un jour historique : l'exposition remonte aux faits réels qui ont engendré la ville. Elle permet ainsi de prendre la mesure de l'héritage culturel de Babylone dans des civilisations contemporaines et postérieures et de redonner à la culture babylonienne sa juste place dans les racines de la culture occidentale. Plusieurs dessins, textes, ouvrages témoignent enfin des phases principales de la redécouverte de Babylone, depuis le XVIIe siècle jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
