I am in Chicago for the ASOR (American Schools of Oriental Research) 2012 Annual Meeting, which takes place on November 14-17.
This conference gathers historians, archaeologists and epigraphers working on the Ancient Near East.
I will present a new Aramaic inscription in the shape of an amulet! See you Thursday morning at 8:20. 😉
Bonne session a vous tous, ramenez-nous de l’information en partage 🙂
J’ai hâte de connaître le contenu de l’inscription ; peut-être est-ce une prière à Ashéra ? Ou pourquoi pas à Ishtar ? Mais est-ce que la langue araméenne a emprunter à l’akkadien ?
but what is the shape of an amulet?
You’re right Eibert, I wasn’t clear (jet lag!). I was referring to previously published Aramaic amulets, which are small scrolls. This one is less than 5 cm high.
would love to see it!
