Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2003.

This dissertation analyzes the transmission and reception of Mesopotamian scholarly texts at the city of Emar in Syria at the close of the Late Bronze Age. It begins by setting the wide socio-historical context, explaining that Mesopotamian scholarly texts were transmitted all across the ancient Near East to scribal schools for schooling purposes. It then focuses on the school system and the schooling traditions at Emar. It examines thoroughly the social makeup of the main scribal school, showing that it was a small private institution consisting of several students and a senior scribe---all members of the same family, the Zu-Bala family. Most importantly, it proves that a Babylonian teacher was responsible for the education of novice scribes by transmitting to them the major learning materials of the period.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation analyzes the transmission and reception of Mesopotamian scholarly texts at the city of Emar in Syria at the close of the Late Bronze Age. It begins by setting the wide socio-historical context, explaining that Mesopotamian scholarly texts were transmitted all across the ancient Near East to scribal schools for schooling purposes. It then focuses on the school system and the schooling traditions at Emar. It examines thoroughly the social makeup of the main scribal school, showing that it was a small private institution consisting of several students and a senior scribe---all members of the same family, the Zu-Bala family. Most importantly, it proves that a Babylonian teacher was responsible for the education of novice scribes by transmitting to them the major learning materials of the period.
520 $a The rest of the dissertation examines in the detail the materials studied at Emar, mostly Middle Babylonian compositions, some of which are otherwise under-represented in the contemporary scribal schools of the core and peripheral areas.
520 $a It commences with the lexical lists, demonstrating that these follow the basic curriculum of the Old Babylonian schools. The next chapter deals with the omen texts which are divided into two major groups. The first group exhibits archaic traits, representing a schooling tradition less documented at Emar.
520 $a The second group consists of Middle Babylonian omen series, all copies of the Zu-Bala school. The final chapter examines the incantations and medico-magical texts from Emar, discussing their modes of composition and transmission, and suggesting that certain works follow Assyro-Hurrian scribal traditions rather than Babylonian ones.
