Ethnography from the mission field : the Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge /
:
In Ethnography from the Mission Field: The Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge Joubert and others offer a translated and annotated edition of the 24 ethnographic articles by missionary Carl Hoffmann and his local interlocutors published between the years 1913 and 1958. The edition is introduced by a historic contextualisation using a cultural historical approach to analyse the contexts in which Hoffmann's ethnographic texts were produced. Making use of historical material and Hoffmann's own words from personal diaries and letters, the authors convincingly draw the attention to the discursive context in which the texts annotated in this book had been compiled. In a concluding chapter the book traces the captivating developments of the orthography of Northern Sotho through Hoffmann's texts over almost half a century. Brill has made the documentary film "A Journey into the Life of a Mission-Ethnographer" which is interlinked with this book available online via its online channels. To access it please click here . The digital database of the "Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge" (HC-CK) can be accessed by clicking here . It is an amalgamation of digital scans, images and video footage relating to missionary Carl Hoffmann's work and life on various mission stations, made available by the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin.

"The texts that were documented by Hoffmann and which are the focus of our research in this publication, were written in the Semamabolo (Mamabolo) dialect, which is close to the standardised form [of Northern Sotho]. To make these texts more accessible they have been rendered in the current official orthography in accordance with the Northern Sotho Terminology and Orthography rules No. 4 (Department of Education and Training 1988)."--Chapter 29. :

Das Ritual der Aštu (CTH 490) : Rekonstruktion und Tradition eines hurritisch-hethitischen Rituals aus Boğazköy/Ḫattuša /
:
The Ritual of Aštu, a text found at the Hittite Capital of Hattuša, shows strong influence from southern Anatolia and describes a Hurrian-Hittite ritual against witchcraft and sorcery. The following study provides detailed philological treatment of the 13th-century fragments found at Hattuša, from which the ritual is known, including transcription, translation, and commentary of all manuscripts, as well as special emphasis on the Hurrian passages of the ritual. Reconstruction of the more fragmentary sections is undertaken through comparison to other rituals. The study concludes with an analysis of Anatolian, Luwian, and Kizzuwatnaian influences evident in the ritual, and affords, in sum, valuable additions to the study of the nature of Hittite archives, and the development of ritual texts. "I firmly believe that works like this are essential to creating the dialogue that is necessary for the progress of our understanding of Hurrian. Görke's treatment of the various texts and her discussions of many aspects of the ritual will prove very useful to scholars working on Hurro-Hittite religion." Dennis R.M. Campbell, San Francisco State University

The reign of Adad-nīrārī III : an historical and ideological analysis of an Assyrian king and his times /
:
In The Reign of Adad-nīrārī III , Luis Siddall examines the evidence and edits new inscriptions from the king's reign to investigate the chronology, campaigns, imperial administration and royal ideology of the period. While historians have typically viewed this period as one of turmoil, imperial recession, political weakness and decentralisation, Siddall shows that Adad-nīrārī's reign marked a period of imperial stability, chiefly through changes to the administration. However, while politically successful, the imperial policy affected the king's ideological expression, particularly in terms of the description of the campaigns in Adad-nīrārī's inscriptions and his limited use of royal titles. \'Scholars working on the Neo-Assyrian period cannot afford to miss Siddall's fresh assessment of the evidence for Adad-nirari's reign. He offers a re-evaluation of several texts but perhaps more importantly, he proposes a few methodological innovations that shed new light on the history of Assyria in the 9th century.\' Bill T. Arnold (Asbury Theological Seminary)

Die regionale Mythologie Ägyptens nach Ausweis der geographischen Prozessionen in den späten Tempeln /
:
Dieses Buch beschließt das auf drei Bände angelegte Projekt zu den geografischen Prozessionen im Soubassement (Sockelbereich) der Tempel der griechisch-römischen Zeit. Hauptgegenstand sind die beiden großen vierteiligen geografischen Prozessionen auf der Außenseite des Naos und im Hof des Horustempels von Edfu. Da die Texte jedoch nicht an allen Stellen perfekt erhalten sind und Parallelen in anderen Tempeln existieren, wurden diese in die Untersuchung miteinbezogen. Die Hauptversionen in Edfu sind fotografisch im beiliegenden Tafelband dokumentiert.0Die Darstellung folgt der Reihenfolge der 22 oberägyptischen und 20 oberägyptischen Gaue (Verwaltungsbezirke) mit ihren jeweils vier Gabenträger, die nacheinander den Gau, den Kanal, das Fruchtland und das Sumpfgebiet repräsentieren. Die Beischriften zu jedem Gabenträger bestehen aus einer Übergabeformel, in der das jeweilige Toponym mit seinen Charakteristika genannt wird, sowie einer Identifikationsformel, bei der sich der Gott des Tempels, in dem sich die entsprechende Prozession befindet (z.B. Horus von Edfu) mit den lokalen Göttern der einzelnen Kultorte identifiziert. In beiden Teilen befindet sich eine Fülle mythologischer Informationen, die hier erstmalig übersetzt und ausführlich kommentiert werden. 0Zusammen mit den in den beiden ersten Bänden der Soubassementstudien analysierten Prozessionen ergeben sich rund 1.000 verschiedene kulttopografische Themenbereiche, von denen eine beträchtliche Anzahl außerhalb dieser Prozessionstexte nicht bekannt ist und in dieser Fülle selbst auf Papyri nicht durchgehend für alle Regionen Ägyptens erhalten ist. Mit dem von Florian Löffler für diesen Band erstellten Gesamtindex kann der 2.000 Seiten umfassende Inhalt der drei Bände nun leichter erschlossen werden.
