/>Abstract: This thesis focuses on administrative letters from the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE from two temple archives, the Eanna in Uruk and the Ebabbar in Sippar. The period under review extends from ca. 550 BCE, the final years of the reign of the last Neo-Babylonian king Nabonidus, until 484 BCE, when revolts against the Persian king Xerxes brought these archives to an end. The main aim is to analyse the mentalities and identities expressed in them, focusing on relationships of various officials inside the temples, between temple officials and royal officials, and between officials from different temples.<br />The introduction provides the methodological and historical context for the study. The following chapter discusses formal features of the letters. Chapter 3 treats the letter dossiers of high and middle-ranking officials of both temples, analysing letter distribution, content, and rhetoric. The last subsection treats the concept of service (maṣṣartu). Findings are compared with material from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian period. Chapter 4 starts with a comparative analysis of the relationship between the temple and the king in the Neo-Babylonian and in the Achaemenid period, followed by a treatment of royal officials in the corpus as well as one member of the city administration of Uruk. Chapter 5 analyses the interaction between the Eanna of Uruk and the Ebabbar of Larsa, a smaller, dependent sanctuary, and the interaction of both the Eanna and the Ebabbar of Sippar with the Esangila of Babylon and the city of Babylon more generally. Chapter 6 gives an overview of the major topics covered in the letters. The last chapter presents text editions from Uruk (191 letters) and Sippar (40 letters), including transliterations, translations, and commentary, as well as a contextualisation of the letters.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44886501"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44886501"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44886501; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44886501]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44886501]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44886501; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44886501']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 44886501, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44886501]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44886501,"title":"2019 Administrative Epistolography in the Late 6th and Early 5th Centuries BCE","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"PhD-thesis, handed in at the University of Vienna in December 2019, successfully defended in June 2020.\nAbstract: This thesis focuses on administrative letters from the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE from two temple archives, the Eanna in Uruk and the Ebabbar in Sippar.

Eighty of these letters have not been published before, and an additional 58 have never been edited and are not included in Ebeling’s now quite dated edition of the corpus.

While the content of this text has been amply discussed, the literary quality of the Fürstenspiegel has received decidedly less attention. In this paper, I examine some structural devices in the Babylonian Fürstenspiegel and analyse their potential for enriching our understanding of the text. I first discuss the literary nature of this text and its relationship with divinatory texts, particularly the terrestrial omen series Šumma ālu.

area roughly congruent with modern Iraq. The letters are written in cuneiform on clay tablets. They stem from the so-called “long sixth century” (Jursa 2010: 5), 626-484 BCE, a period which includes the rise and fall of the Neo-Babylonian empire and the early years of Persian rule after their conquest of Babylonia in 539 BCE. Despite these political changes, the period is marked by a high degree of economic and social coherence and continuity, also with regard to available sources.<br />I will compare data gleaned from a macro perspective on Late Babylonian letters from two temples with data based on a micro perspective on the material in question. In a previous study, Jursa and Hackl (2015) distinguished different rhetorical strategies in Late Babylonian letters. They compared the usage of these strategies in Late Babylonian temple letters from the long sixth century BCE with their occurrences and frequencies in a comparable letter corpus from the Old Babylonian period (17th century BCE). In their study, they noticed, i.a., a marked difference in the usage of strategies referencing personal relationships as a means of persuasion. Late Babylonian letters use this strategy in far fewer instances than their Old Babylonian counterparts, a fact which Jursa and Hackl interpreted as an indication of an increase in “rational” elements in Babylonian temple bureaucracies, rational being used in a Weberian sense (Weber 1980 [1922]). This macro approach to the material can be further refined by adding a micro perspective, focusing on the temple communities at different points in time. We have data on these strategies from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian empire, 626 BCE and onwards (Levavi 2018). I will compare this to material from the beginning of the Persian empire, from 539 to 484 BCE. This allows one to trace changes in language usage over the course of the long sixth century BCE, observing a different distribution of rhetorical strategies in these two phases. In addition, this analysis provides further data on the administrative ethos and identity of some of these temple officials in different political circumstances.<br />Bibliography<br />Jursa, M., 2010, with contributions by J.

The letters are written in cuneiform on clay tablets. They stem from the so-called “long sixth century” (Jursa 2010: 5), 626-484 BCE, a period which includes the rise and fall of the Neo-Babylonian empire and the early years of Persian rule after their conquest of Babylonia in 539 BCE. Despite these political changes, the period is marked by a high degree of economic and social coherence and continuity, also with regard to available sources.\nI will compare data gleaned from a macro perspective on Late Babylonian letters from two temples with data based on a micro perspective on the material in question. In a previous study, Jursa and Hackl (2015) distinguished different rhetorical strategies in Late Babylonian letters. They compared the usage of these strategies in Late Babylonian temple letters from the long sixth century BCE with their occurrences and frequencies in a comparable letter corpus from the Old Babylonian period (17th century BCE). In their study, they noticed, i.a., a marked difference in the usage of strategies referencing personal relationships as a means of persuasion. Late Babylonian letters use this strategy in far fewer instances than their Old Babylonian counterparts, a fact which Jursa and Hackl interpreted as an indication of an increase in “rational” elements in Babylonian temple bureaucracies, rational being used in a Weberian sense (Weber 1980 [1922]). This macro approach to the material can be further refined by adding a micro perspective, focusing on the temple communities at different points in time. We have data on these strategies from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian empire, 626 BCE and onwards (Levavi 2018). I will compare this to material from the beginning of the Persian empire, from 539 to 484 BCE. This allows one to trace changes in language usage over the course of the long sixth century BCE, observing a different distribution of rhetorical strategies in these two phases. In addition, this analysis provides further data on the administrative ethos and identity of some of these temple officials in different political circumstances.\nBibliography\nJursa, M., 2010, with contributions by J.

Among the newly edited texts is the archive and library of Marduk-šumu-uṣur from the Šigûa family, N10 (Pedersén 2005: 198), a small archive which contains texts from both the Neo-Assyrian and the Neo-Babylonian period.

The period under review extends from ca. 550 BCE, the final years of the reign of the last Neo-Babylonian king Nabonidus, until 484 BCE, when revolts against the Persian king Xerxes brought these archives to an end. The main aim is to analyse the mentalities and identities expressed in them, focusing on relationships of various officials inside the temples, between temple officials and royal officials, and between officials from different temples.<br />The introduction provides the methodological and historical context for the study. The following chapter discusses formal features of the letters. Chapter 3 treats the letter dossiers of high and middle-ranking officials of both temples, analysing letter distribution, content, and rhetoric. The last subsection treats the concept of service (maṣṣartu). Findings are compared with material from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian period. Chapter 4 starts with a comparative analysis of the relationship between the temple and the king in the Neo-Babylonian and in the Achaemenid period, followed by a treatment of royal officials in the corpus as well as one member of the city administration of Uruk. Chapter 5 analyses the interaction between the Eanna of Uruk and the Ebabbar of Larsa, a smaller, dependent sanctuary, and the interaction of both the Eanna and the Ebabbar of Sippar with the Esangila of Babylon and the city of Babylon more generally. Chapter 6 gives an overview of the major topics covered in the letters. The last chapter presents text editions from Uruk (191 letters) and Sippar (40 letters), including transliterations, translations, and commentary, as well as a contextualisation of the letters.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44886501"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44886501"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44886501; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44886501]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44886501]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44886501; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44886501']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 44886501, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44886501]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44886501,"title":"2019 Administrative Epistolography in the Late 6th and Early 5th Centuries BCE","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"PhD-thesis, handed in at the University of Vienna in December 2019, successfully defended in June 2020.\nAbstract: This thesis focuses on administrative letters from the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE from two temple archives, the Eanna in Uruk and the Ebabbar in Sippar.

In this context, violence by, but also against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is un-der scrutiny. While the focus of the investigation lies on a detailed treatment of the events leading up to and following the Arab Spring in Egypt in 2011 until the spring of 2014, historical developments since the founding of the organisation in 1928 are also summarised – though less extensively – to provide ample context for attitudes on and the im-plementation of violence.

It aims to show that the text makes use of the possibilities of the cuneiform writing system to create various levels of meaning.

area roughly congruent with modern Iraq. The letters are written in cuneiform on clay tablets. They stem from the so-called “long sixth century” (Jursa 2010: 5), 626-484 BCE, a period which includes the rise and fall of the Neo-Babylonian empire and the early years of Persian rule after their conquest of Babylonia in 539 BCE. Despite these political changes, the period is marked by a high degree of economic and social coherence and continuity, also with regard to available sources.<br />I will compare data gleaned from a macro perspective on Late Babylonian letters from two temples with data based on a micro perspective on the material in question. In a previous study, Jursa and Hackl (2015) distinguished different rhetorical strategies in Late Babylonian letters. They compared the usage of these strategies in Late Babylonian temple letters from the long sixth century BCE with their occurrences and frequencies in a comparable letter corpus from the Old Babylonian period (17th century BCE). In their study, they noticed, i.a., a marked difference in the usage of strategies referencing personal relationships as a means of persuasion. Late Babylonian letters use this strategy in far fewer instances than their Old Babylonian counterparts, a fact which Jursa and Hackl interpreted as an indication of an increase in “rational” elements in Babylonian temple bureaucracies, rational being used in a Weberian sense (Weber 1980 [1922]). This macro approach to the material can be further refined by adding a micro perspective, focusing on the temple communities at different points in time. We have data on these strategies from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian empire, 626 BCE and onwards (Levavi 2018). I will compare this to material from the beginning of the Persian empire, from 539 to 484 BCE. This allows one to trace changes in language usage over the course of the long sixth century BCE, observing a different distribution of rhetorical strategies in these two phases. In addition, this analysis provides further data on the administrative ethos and identity of some of these temple officials in different political circumstances.<br />Bibliography<br />Jursa, M., 2010, with contributions by J.

They compared the usage of these strategies in Late Babylonian temple letters from the long sixth century BCE with their occurrences and frequencies in a comparable letter corpus from the Old Babylonian period (17th century BCE). In their study, they noticed, i.a., a marked difference in the usage of strategies referencing personal relationships as a means of persuasion. Late Babylonian letters use this strategy in far fewer instances than their Old Babylonian counterparts, a fact which Jursa and Hackl interpreted as an indication of an increase in “rational” elements in Babylonian temple bureaucracies, rational being used in a Weberian sense (Weber 1980 [1922]). This macro approach to the material can be further refined by adding a micro perspective, focusing on the temple communities at different points in time. We have data on these strategies from the beginning of the Neo-Babylonian empire, 626 BCE and onwards (Levavi 2018). I will compare this to material from the beginning of the Persian empire, from 539 to 484 BCE. This allows one to trace changes in language usage over the course of the long sixth century BCE, observing a different distribution of rhetorical strategies in these two phases. In addition, this analysis provides further data on the administrative ethos and identity of some of these temple officials in different political circumstances.\nBibliography\nJursa, M., 2010, with contributions by J.

To achieve this goal, it mainly draws on epistolographical evidence, supplemented by administrative documentation. The administration of the first years after the Persian conquest of Babylonia is usually characterized as roughly stable, with many officials remaining in office despite the regime change. One major change was the installation of a governor of Babylonia and Transpotamia in the early years of Achaemenid rule, but changes on a smaller scale during this time are more difficult to grasp. For the early Neo-Babylonian period, we are well-informed from both administrative and epistolographical data that the Sealand was an influential player in Uruk. This is especially clear from the extant letter dossier of the Eanna temple from the early years of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. This paper argues that over time, the distribution of power changed. At the latest under Achaemenid rule, we see that the Sealand, as a regional entity within Babylonia, must have undergone some changes as well. Administrative texts show that connections between the Eanna temple and the Sealand still existed after the Persian conquest, but epistolographical data suggest that the nature of these connections under Achaemenid rule was different from that of the early Neo-Babylonian period.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="63927148"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="63927148"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 63927148; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=63927148]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=63927148]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 63927148; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='63927148']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 63927148, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=63927148]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":63927148,"title":"2021 Uruk and the Sealand – Structures of Power under Neo-Babylonian and Early Achaemenid Rule","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This paper examines the connections between Uruk and the Sealand under Neo-Babylonian and Achaemenid rule and their development over time.

They pertain to the interesting mixture of genres this text represents, and they interact with content-based divisions of the text that have been suggested in previous research, as well as enhancing the meaning of the text itself.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/63926604/2021_Mirror_Mirror_Some_Remarks_on_Structuring_Devices_in_the_Advice_to_a_Prince_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2021-12-12T13:45:14.935-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":182553,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"talk","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"2021_Mirror_Mirror_Some_Remarks_on_Structuring_Devices_in_the_Advice_to_a_Prince_","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":182553,"first_name":"Martina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Schmidl","page_name":"MartinaSchmidl","domain_name":"uni-m","created_at":"2010-05-08T07:33:50.428-07:00","display_name":"Martina Schmidl","url":"https://uni-m.academia.edu/MartinaSchmidl"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":1764,"name":"Assyriology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Assyriology"},{"id":20184,"name":"Akkadian","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Akkadian"},{"id":32282,"name":"Sumerian \u0026 Akkadian literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sumerian_and_Akkadian_literature"},{"id":121551,"name":"Repetition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Repetition"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="45595451"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/45595451/2021_Intra_Writer_Variation_in_Late_Babylonian_Letters"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of 2021 Intra-Writer Variation in Late Babylonian Letters" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/45595451/2021_Intra_Writer_Variation_in_Late_Babylonian_Letters">2021 Intra-Writer Variation in Late Babylonian Letters</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Talk given at the HiSoN 2021, FAU Erlangen</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Talk held at the fully virtual conference by the Historical Sociolinguistic Network, HiSoN 2021, ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Talk held at the fully virtual conference by the Historical Sociolinguistic Network, HiSoN 2021, organised by the FAU Erlangen, "Intra-Writer Variation in Historical Sociolinguistics", 17-19 March 2021. Pre-recorded talk streamed live on March 17, 2021.<br /><br />Abstract:<br />My talk focuses on intra-writer variation in Late Babylonian temple letters from Mesopotamia. The letters stem from the main temple of the city of Uruk in Southern Mesopotamia. They date to around 530 BCE. Specifically, I draw up a case study on two letters by a writer who belonged to the highest echelons of this temple to other high-ranking colleagues in a time of need, YOS 3, 171 and TCL 9, 129.2 The letters<br />concern the involvement of the temple in a royal building project. The sender of the letter, while being a full<br />member of the temple administration, had a royal background. He sent his letters to two temple officials<br />with local backgrounds.3 They stemmed from prominent Urukean families.4 The tension between royal and<br />local influence is one way of reading these letters, but a focus on intra-writer variation provides us with<br />deeper insights. One letter addresses an official of roughly equal status, similar to a “bishop”,5<br />the other<br />addresses a lower-ranking temple scribe. These two letters are near-duplicates, but they differ at crucial<br />points. Focusing on these discrepancies makes it possible to trace stylistic variation with regard to the<br />intended addressees, the communicational situations where this was pertinent, and the rhetorical means<br />chosen in these situations.<br />Abbreviations<br />YOS 3 Clay, A., 1919, Neo-Babylonian Letters from Erech.

Wien, 2012 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 384 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Altsemitische Philologie und orientalische Archäologie Betreuer: Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Michael Jursa i Danksagung Mein Dank geht an Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Michael Jursa, ohne dessen weitreichende Unterstützung und schier endlose Geduld diese Arbeit wohl niemals vollendet worden wäre. Mit eigenen Augen an ein Thema heranzugehen war eine Erfahrung von unschätzbarem Wert und wird meine weitere Arbeit wohl maßgeblich prägen. Dank geht auch an meine Kollegen, die an der Edition der bearbeiteten Texte beteiligt waren und ohne die die vorliegende Analyse nicht umsetzbar gewesen wäre, insbesondere Mag. Johannes Hackl, der für sämtliche Fragen immer ein offenes Ohr hatte und nicht müde wurde, auf das Licht am Ende des Entstehungstunnels dieser Arbeit hinzuweisen. Mein aufrichtiger Dank gilt meiner Familie, die mir mein Studium ermöglicht und mich zu jenem Menschen gemacht hat, der ich heute bin. Auch wenn ihnen ihr Beitrag zu meinem Leben nicht immer klar ist, möchte ich ihnen sagen, dass Worte nicht fassen können, was ich ihnen verdanke und schulde. Die Fertigstellung dieser Arbeit kommt zu spät, um mit dieser Danksagung all jene zu erreichen, die darin erwähnt werden sollten, jedoch ist sie dem Gedenken an diese Personen gewidmet. Sie waren und sind ein wichtiger und wertvoller Teil meines Lebens.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":12,"year":2012,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":31463735},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/3808032/Rhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2013-06-27T21:45:20.601-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":182553,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"other","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":31463735,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/31463735/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"DA_Schmidl.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31463735/download_file?st=MTczMzIwNjkxNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Rhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/31463735/DA_Schmidl-libre.pdf?1392384031=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe.pdf\u0026Expires=1733210517\u0026Signature=Ui255W6YEyJ9r9gR6ZerfWmLlDZ3Hqt8jr8Lv4q4QHpBvzbdD~MiKFrx7xdPhrsEaYK9oMAYjb~sVweQgdQOQLgo78lwrUQf5NgteSlyt7c7JXZ~kcXDSNJ8aCt6aSSYS3fliCiQKrwTAzIAir5zkxf9QwyTd603atYv-d6hhoWAvaR5nsOMO7U4zMseQ9qF5OZ5z4hu2AzxtZ2edasGImGLqhMoIyx3SGUMRNrMRXt1dAUyR8eSpTy6FckG-kwS6FdXYrYmFOkwPSnJRWWxqSGmk1E6dnNySpStwaH0gmLGpI7frKLAgslh5lJbPiBbTury970RDv~MRtJtH3bAEA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Rhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe","translated_slug":"","page_count":234,"language":"de","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":182553,"first_name":"Martina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Schmidl","page_name":"MartinaSchmidl","domain_name":"uni-m","created_at":"2010-05-08T07:33:50.428-07:00","display_name":"Martina Schmidl","url":"https://uni-m.academia.edu/MartinaSchmidl"},"attachments":[{"id":31463735,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/31463735/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"DA_Schmidl.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31463735/download_file?st=MTczMzIwNjkxNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Rhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/31463735/DA_Schmidl-libre.pdf?1392384031=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRhetorik_neubabylonischer_Privatbriefe.pdf\u0026Expires=1733210517\u0026Signature=Ui255W6YEyJ9r9gR6ZerfWmLlDZ3Hqt8jr8Lv4q4QHpBvzbdD~MiKFrx7xdPhrsEaYK9oMAYjb~sVweQgdQOQLgo78lwrUQf5NgteSlyt7c7JXZ~kcXDSNJ8aCt6aSSYS3fliCiQKrwTAzIAir5zkxf9QwyTd603atYv-d6hhoWAvaR5nsOMO7U4zMseQ9qF5OZ5z4hu2AzxtZ2edasGImGLqhMoIyx3SGUMRNrMRXt1dAUyR8eSpTy6FckG-kwS6FdXYrYmFOkwPSnJRWWxqSGmk1E6dnNySpStwaH0gmLGpI7frKLAgslh5lJbPiBbTury970RDv~MRtJtH3bAEA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":100,"name":"Rhetoric (Languages and Linguistics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rhetoric_Languages_and_Linguistics_"},{"id":953,"name":"Rhetoric","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rhetoric"},{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":17936,"name":"Ancient Near East","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ancient_Near_East"},{"id":22951,"name":"Epistolography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistolography"},{"id":53532,"name":"Neo-Babylonian period","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neo-Babylonian_period"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
