Geschichte der hethitischen Religion: Handbook of Oriental Studies. Section 1 The Near and Middle East, cartea 15

Autor Volkert Haas
de Limba Germană Hardback – 30 sep 1994
Geschichte der hethitischen Religion presents the first comprehensive representation of the religious history of the Hittites, using both cuneiform and archaeological sources of the Ancient Near East, as from the beginning of the Neolithic until the end of the era of the Hittite Great Kingdom around 1150 B.C.
Special attention will be paid to Ancient Near Eastern cosmologies, the Hittite Kingship and the world of the gods. The book will lead the reader from 'national' to regional divinities and from 'types' of gods, local numina, divine attributes and symbols to the cultic inventory. A fascinating insight in sacrificial practices, in myths and popular religious customs renders the reader a comprehensive overview of the Hittite festive calendar.
A historical survey will give the reader the essential reference.

Recenzii

'...standard reference work...'
M.S.S. Old Testament Abstracts, 1995.
'...the work contains a wealth of information, with a solid critical apparatus. It will be an indispensable tool for every student of Ancient Middle Eastern religion and for a better understanding of the Hittite gods and cult and their outside relationships.'
Edgar C. Polomé, The Journal of Indo-Euopean Studies.
'The wealth of material, the depth of the analysis and the clarity of the presentation make V. Haas's book an indispensable tool not only in the sphere of Hittitology, but also in that of te History of Religions.'
Stefano de Martino, Bibliotheca Orientalis, 1997.
'...brings together a very impressive amount of information, with Haas's interpretation, in one place. This will be an extremely useful work for reading up a particular cultic tradition or festival and especially for quickly reminding oneself of the textual evidence and secondary literature on any aspect of Hittite religion. The sheer volume of work involved is impressive; its strength lies in its comprehensiveness and accessibility. Specialists and non-specialists alike will gladly use it as their standard reference on Hittite religion.'
Gregory McMahon, Newsletter for Anatolian Studies, 1996.
