	Assyriology and Biblical Studies: Time for Reassessment? - By Bill T. Arnold
		Indeed, it may be argued that intense interest in Mesopotamia at the close of the nineteenth century, generated largely by those interested in biblical studies, made the emergence of Assryiology as an independent discipline possible.
		Landsberger sought to place Assyriology on a new path, in which Babylonian culture could be investigated on its own terms.
		Assyriologists today are often isolated and tend not to consider comparative issues due to a cultural climate in the academic community, perhaps still as a result of the excesses of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

		The large number of cuneiform clay tablets preserved by these cultures provide an enormous resource for the study of the period and the region's (and the world's) first cities such as Ur are archaeologically invaluable as for studying the growth of urbanisation.
		As an academic discipline, Assyriology presents itself as one of the most demanding fields in the humanities.
		Few universities teach advanced Assyriology, and not that many teach, for example, introductory Akkadian which at least provides some orientation to the language and culture of the Latin of the Ancient Near East.

		The science of Assyriology (the interpretation of the cuneiform inscriptions), which has originated and developed with such marked rapidity within the past fifty years, stands in intimate relations with the Old Testament.
		The most salient allusions in Assyriology to events and customs mentioned in the Old Testament may most conveniently be divided into the following periods: viz., the antediluvian, the patriarchal, the Egyptian, the early regal, the last century of Assyria, and the new Babylonian.
		Altogether the science of Assyriology has opened up to the student of the Old Testament a new world which he must explore before he can appreciate many of its most interesting parts.

	Assyriology Summary

		Assyriology is the science, which concerns itself with the investigation of the languages, history, religion and culture of the cuneiform-using peoples of Ancient Near East.
		Modern assyriology was born in 1802, when W.Grotefend deciphered the first cuneiform marks.
		Only by the cultural interpretation of archaeological substance is it possible to understand the ways of life and thought, everyday activities and high religion of cities long lost in the past.

		The branch of science dealing with the study of ancient civilizations in the Near East is called Assyriology, named after an Assyrian empire uncovered by the first archeological excavations.
		Assyriology rests on information from archeological excavations on the one hand and on the study of written documents by philologists on the other hand.

		Within the discipline of Assyriology she has either largely been ignored or treated as a footnote.
		In The Exaltation of Inanna, Enheduanna begins the 153-line hymn with carefully arranged epithets and descriptions of the goddess Inanna to illustrate the characteristics of the goddess that become part of the unfolding story carefully building to the declaration that Inanna is the supreme deity.

		While most of today’s ancient Babylon is in ruins, a local population has continued there since ancient times, as still in the modern village Hillah, itself partially situated in the residential district of the ancient Babylon.
		Or it could simply be a matter of the Assyrians finally having learned that the dynasty of Omri was long over, and thus everyone ruling Bīt-Humri at that point might have been considered the “son of a nobody.” The patronymics for the last two rulers were not recorded, unfortunately.
		As I mentioned in a comment on a post chez Chris Heard, I’ve been compiling instances of the Assyrian usage of the phrase “House of …” in reference to territories and their associated rulers, of which we have much more information than in the case of the Aramaic usage.

	Presidential Lectures: Stefan Maul (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The problem with Assyriology and Assyriologists is that this is a discipline which is literally drowning in material.
		Moreover, Assyriology does not only deal with Assyria but with the whole extension of Cuneiform culture from Anatolia to the Indus valley, and not exclusively with written tablets but with all kinds of archaeological remains.
		Professor Maul's main area of research is Mesopotamian religion in the 1st millenium B.C. His dissertation deals with a genre of (Late-)Sumerian cult lyric in "Emesal", the female dialect used for lyrical recitation in Babylonian rituals, of which he presented a ground-breaking collection, edition, translation and commentary.

		The faculty has determined that Assyriology is too expensive for Hamburg University and they want to suppress it.
		Yet Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, and Assyriology is a field of signal importance to the recovery of highly complex cultures at the dawn of writing (Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian) that, beginning in the Third Millennium BC, greatly influenced the development and thoughts of neighboring Canaanite, Hebrew, Classical, even Islamic, civilizations.

		Chavalas chronicles the emergence of Assyriology from an auxiliary of biblical studies into a unique discipline.
		Although this work does an excellent job presenting the background for Assyriology and the comparative method, the real value of the material lies in the discussion of the culture and historiography of the Syro-Mesopotamian region.

		It seemed to me that the crux of Oppenheim's argument was that the field's emphasis on the humanities put undue focus on the surviving literary texts, which as he pointed out, make up only a tiny fraction of the cuneiform tablets that the ancients deemed worthy of collecting in their libraries.
		After giving us his ideas at the beginning of the book on what the paradigm of Assyriology should be, Oppenheim proceeded to do a remarkable job of putting these ideas into practice in the rest of the book.
		Limited use is made of direct quotations from texts, since as the author put it, "Translated texts tend to speak more of the translator than their original message".

		Meanwhile the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854 put an abrupt end to the first period of excavations, which were not resumed for 18 years.
		This period of enforced inactivity in the field was fortunately characterized by activity in British and French research, as well as by the beginnings of German interest in Assyriology.
		For example, cuneiform law and legal institutions have become a treasure house for students of comparative law, especially in Europe, where Roman law is still taught in many faculties of law.
