Official Cult and Popular Religion in the Ancient Near East

Papers of the First Colloquium on the Ancient Near East - The City and its Life, held at the Middle Eastern Culture Center in Japan (Mitaka, Tokyo), March 20-22, 1992. Edited by Eiko Matsushima. 12 contributions, two of which are in French and one in German, consider the theologies and religious customs of various cultures in ancient Mesopotamia, Iran and the Levant. All the while, the findings are contrasted with the rather unique Japanese experience of animistic polytheism on the one hand and modernism and high technology on the other. 224 Seiten mit 48 Tafeln, Leinen (Chûkintô-Bunka-Sentâ/Universitätsverlag Winter 1993) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
