The History of the Modern Aramaic Pronouns and Pronominal Suffixes

Abstract: have been spoken there in ancient times. The relationship between the modern dialects and older Aramaic may be explored by applying the method of comparative reconstruction to the modern dialects, creating a hypothesis as to the nature of their ancestor. This approach is applied here to the personal pronouns and the pronominal suffixes which function in the inflection of verbs, nouns, and prepositions. The reconstructed proto-NENA pronominal system has similarities to those of Syriac and Babylonian Jewish Aramaic, but also important innovations of its own. By identifying innovations shared by two or more of the modern dialects, conclusions about their genetic classification can be drawn.'

Elements Of The Babylonian Contribution To Hellenistic Astrology

Abstract: This chapter focuses on three elements which are demonstrably Babylonian in origin yet form basic and integral parts of Greek astrological doctrine. The three elements are: planetary exaltations, the micro-zodiac, and trine aspect. It clarifies a number of fundamental distinctions between Babylonian celestial divination and Greek horoscopic astrology. It then turns to some specific elements which may be cited in defense of the claim for the Greek dependence on Babylonian traditions. The chapter discusses three examples, two of which are attested in some form in pre-Seleucid celestial omen texts and one which stems from texts dating after the fifth century B.C.E. These are (1) the planetary hypsomata, or exaltations, (2) the dodekatemoria, literally, the twelfth parts, or micro-zodiac, and (3) trine aspect. These three examples illustrate with particular cogency the origin of certain elements of Hellenistic astrology in Babylonian tradition.Keywords: Babylonian tradition; dodekatemoria; Greek astrological doctrine; Hellenistic astrology; omen texts; planetary hypsomata; trine aspect

Hebrew Bullae from the Time of Jeremiah: Remnants of a Burnt Archive

Abstract: Nahman Avigad, the doyen of Israeli epigraphists, has produced a meticulous work that will place in his debt all who are students of Hebrew epigraphy and onomastics. Originally published in Hebrew, this beautifully produced book makes available to English-speaking readers the most important discovery of a group of sealimpressions on clay bullae. When groups of inscribed Hebrew bullae began to surface on the antiquities market in October 1975, with identical impressions occurring in different batches, it became clear that all of the bullae belonged to a single assemblage. An effort was made to secure as many of the bullae as possible. The entire assemblage of bullae consists of 255 items; some are broken, though most of them are complete. This number includes duplicate bullae from the same seal, as well as duplicate bullae from multiple seals (i.e., some individuals possessed more than one seal). For the most part, the bullae bear only inscriptions, though a few decorative motifs occur.

"Shewing of Hard Sentences and Dissolving of Doubts": The First Decipherment

Abstract: The first dead language to be recovered when its script was deciphered was not Egyptian (as might be supposed from popular and most technical accounts of decipherment), but Palmyrene; the year was 1754, and the scholar was Jean-Jacques Barthelemy. Here the events leading to his achievement are recounted, and his method is described; it is seen that he explicitly established the principles followed by all successful decipherers since.
