NEHC 20005/30005: Ancient Near Eastern Thought and Literature II:West Semitic Literature
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course is a reading of literature that was composed in the area of Syria and Palestine in the period from ca. 1300 BCE to 400 CE. We start with the mythological texts from the north Syrian city of Ugarit (1300 to 1200 BCE) that have often been compared with biblical poetry in style and content, providing important insights into the cultural and religious background of early West Semitic societies. In addition, we read selected passages from the Hebrew Bible, Hebrew texts from Qumran ( i.e., the Dead Sea Scrolls), and Phoenician inscriptions. We then move on to literary texts from the vast corpus of Aramaic writings that span the period from ca. 500 BCE to 400 CE and various cultural and religious groups. Texts in English. R. Hasselbach. Winter.
