Abstract

A number of ritual texts have been handed down from the Hittite capital of Hattusha, written by authors from Kizzuwatna, a region in South-eastern Anatolia. The function and effect of these purification and sacrificial rites, which are often only recorded formulaically, are explained by means of a comparative analysis of the Kizzuwatna Rituals, as they are known, and by drawing on other relevant texts. Using special cathartic techniques, which are applied only to the rituals from Kizzuwatna, it is possible to document an independent Kizzuwatnaic ritual tradition, which found its way into the Hittite tradition in connection with political contacts. Relations can also be traced from some of the ritual practices to Hurrite, North Syrian and Mesopotamian ritualism. Thus the group of Kizzuwatna Rituals can be identified as one of the most important sources documenting the cultural exchange between Hittite Anatolia, Syria and Mesopotamia in the second half of the 2nd millennium B.C. Aus der hethitischen Hauptstadt Hattuscha ist eine Reihe von Ritualtexten überliefert, deren Verfasser aus Kizzuwatna (südöstliches Anatolien) stammen. Eine vergleichende Betrachtung der so genannten Kizzuwatna-Rituale und weiterer Texte aus deren Umfeld erklärt die Funktions- und Wirkungsweise von Reinigungs- und Opferriten. Anhand spezieller Techniken der Katharsis, die auf die Rituale aus Kizzuwatna beschränkt bleiben, belegt Strauß eine eigenständige kizzuwatnäische Ritualtradition, die in Verbindung mit politischen Kontakten Eingang in die hethitische fand. Für einige Ritualpraktiken lassen sich indes Beziehungspunkte zur hurritischen, nordsyrischen und mesopotamischen Ritualkunde nachweisen. Somit erweist sich die Gruppe der Kizzuwatna-Rituale als eine der wichtigsten Quellen für den kulturellen Austausch zwischen dem hethitischen Anatolien, Syrien und Mesopotamien in der zweiten Hälfte des 2. Jahrtausends v. Chr.

Abstract

Glazov demonstrates that the interlinked themes of bridling the tongue and opening the mouth, well-known components of wisdom teaching, are also crucial to understanding much in the prophets, as well as later Jewish and Christian writings, especially liturgical texts. His comprehensive survey and analysis of the theme contribute to both a literary and a historical perspective on the prophetic literature of the Bible.
