Abstract

"Mighty Baal: Essays in Honor of Mark S. Smith is the first edited collection devoted to the study of the ancient Near Eastern god Baal. Although the Bible depicts Baal as powerless, the combined archaeological, iconographic, and literary evidence makes it clear that Baal was worshipped throughout the Levant as a god whose powers rivalled any deity. Mighty Baal brings together eleven essays written by scholars working in North America, Europe, and Israel. Essays in part one focus on the main collection of Ugaritic tablets describing Baal's exploits, the Baal Cycle. Essays in part two treat Baal's relationships to other deities. Together, the essays offer a rich portrait of Baal and his cult from a variety of methodological perspectives"--

Abstract

This second volume of the commentary on the Baal Cycle, the most important Canaanite religious text from Ugarit, in Syria, analyzes KTU/CAT 1.3 and 1.4, the tablets that contain the long episode about how Baal secured permission from El to build his royal palace and how the palace was built. It includes a new edition of the tablets, supplemented by a DVD-ROM with 92 images and superimposible drawings, a comprehensive introduction, new translation and vocalized text, and detailed commentary. The authors develop an interpretation of the episode which places it into the larger context of the Baal Cycle as a whole.

Abstract

"This book investigates the issue of the singularity versus the multiplicity of ancient Near Eastern deities who are known by a common first name but differentiated by their last names, or geographic epithets. It focuses primarily on the Ishtar divine names in Mesopotamia, Baal names in the Levant, and Yahweh names in Israel"--

Abstract

This Festschrift is dedicated to Prof. Dr. J. van Baal on the occasion of his retirement from the chair of cultural anthropology at the University of Utrecht. The essays presented here are written by fellow scholars in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of anthropology. In order to arrange the papers araund a theme that has never ceased to fascinate van Baal, we have asked the contributors to concentrate on a rel­ igious subject. Within this broad area no specific topics have been solicit­ ed, and the authors-- mainly fellow anthropologists and students of relig­ ion-- have been able to pursue their own personal interests in the articles. Nevertheless, when the papers were collected, we found it possible to group them under three headings, each of which represents a facet of ·1an Baal's enduring interests. Of course, some overlap is inevitable, as it is in any categorisation of heterogeneaus items. The topics of the three sections by no means represent an exhaustive inventory of all fields van Baal has successfully explored. The focus on religion necessarily leaves out many problems van Baal has actively occ- ied hirnself with during his many-sided career. Thus the academic stance of the Festschrift in no way pays tribute to his prolonged concern with admi.

Abstract

Bien que dégagés en 1929 et en 1934, les sanctuaires de Baal et de Dagan sur l’acropole d’Ougarit n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’une publication exhaustive. Le présent travail a donc pour but de combler cette lacune, même si depuis leur fouille ces monuments ont beaucoup souffert. Le matériel recueilli lors des fouilles et dans quelques sondages plus récents montre que ces temples ont été édifiés au Bronze moyen et qu’ils ont fonctionné sans changements majeurs jusqu’au milieu du XIIIe siècle, date à laquelle ils se sont effondrés lors d’un séisme qui a détruit la ville. Seul le temple de Baal a été reconstruit avant d’être à nouveau détruit au début du XIIe siècle, en même temps que toute la cité. Du point de vue architectural, ces deux temples présentaient des similitudes frappantes. Ils sont tous deux du même type, appelé « temple-tour ». On y trouve le même vestibule bas, suivi d’un corps de bâtiment beaucoup plus haut abritant le Lieu Saint. Enfin, c’est par un réseau complexe d’escaliers qu’on accédait à la terrasse haute (plus de 20 m) où se trouvait un lieu de sacrifice essentiellement réservé au roi.
