Seller's Description:
Fair. text underlined. margins marked and notated. cover hinge crease. cover faded with bend marks, spots, corner creases, and edge wear. page corner tips worn. 84 pages, 10" x 7", State Archives of Assyria Vol. IX, More than a hundred years after its discovery, the Assyrian prophecy corpus still remains virtually unknown to the great majority of biblical scholars and historians of religion-even though it provides a much closer parallel, at least in time, to OT prophecy than the early second-millennium prophetic texts of Mari, now well known to every serious biblical and ANE scholar. This study firmly established not only the independence and antiquity of Assyrian prophecy as a phenomenon, but above all the close ties of ANE prophecy in general to the cult of the mother goddess and its esoteric doctrines of salvation.
