Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Samas Religious Texts: Classified in the British Museum Catalogue as Hymns, Prayers, and Incantations; With Twenty Plates of Texts Hitherto Unpublished, and a Transliteration and Translation of K. 3182 Until within a comparatively short time the publication of Assyrian Religious Texts has been of a desultory character, few attempts having been made systematically to bring out complete series of texts. Among continental scholars three marked exceptions may be mentioned. To Tallqvist for his publication of Die assyrische Beschwörungsserie Maqlû, and to Zimmern for his publication of Beiträge zur Kenntnis der babylonischen Religion, as well as to Knudtzon for his Assyrische Gebete an den Sonnengott, students of Assyrian and Babylonian religion are deeply indebted. Among English Assyriologists a similar debt is due to King for his careful editing of The Prayers of the Lifting of the Hand, and to Thompson for The Reports of the Magicians and Astrologers of Nineveh and Babylon. Such work as these men have done has been greatly facilitated by the appearance, two years ago, of the fifth volume of the Catalogue, but there remains a vast amount of material yet to be brought to light. In his preface to Babylonian Religion and Mythology, King well says: "Although so much has been done in recent years to explain their religious literature, no finality in the matter must be expected for some time to come, certainly not as long as any important religious text remains unpublished." For this reason, then, these religious texts relating to the worship of Samas have been published, in the hope that they may form a small contribution to the history of Babylonian religion, the writing of which, as Zimmern has remarked in the Vorwort of his Beiträge zur Kenntnis der babylonischen Religion, is "today as yet a thing impossible."
