SUMMARY:Searching for Scribal Curriculum in Ancient Israel
DESCRIPTION:Professor William Schniedewind will present the outlines of his research in progress—a book on Scribal Education in Ancient Israel. The research proposes that outlines of scribal curriculum in early Israel can now be reconstructed based on his interpretation of the recently fully published inscriptions from Kuntillet Ajrud and using parallels with Mesopotamian scribal curriculum and its adaptations into other Levantine scribal settings. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n\nPlease RSVP for Event\n[gravityform id=”48″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]\n  \n

SUMMARY:The Inventors of the Alphabet — Erudite Scribes or Unlettered MinersOrly
DESCRIPTION:According to Orly Goldwasser’s analysis of the evidence\, the alphabet was invented around 1840 BCE by illiterate Canaanite mining experts working in the Sinai site of Serabit el-Khadem. This conclusion is based on a painstaking comparative analysis of the paleography of the Middle Kingdom hieroglyphs in the Egyptian temple on the site and the so-called “Proto-Sinaitic” inscriptions that were discovered primarily in and around the neighboring mines.The inventors of the alphabet were inspired by the highly pictorial hieroglyphs around them\, but they used them only as hardware for their new script in an innovative\, distinctly un-Egyptian manner.The graphemes of the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions represent mono-consonants (letters)\, and the pictorial meaning of each sign should always be discarded in order to reach the correct reading.Two related issues have often been raised in response to her theory. First\, how could illiterate\, “simple” people accomplish such an intellectual leap without prior education? Second\, is it not evident that erudite scribes would have had the necessary experience and culture to adopt the idea of mono-consonants from the ancient Egyptian script that they knew so well? \n\nOrly Goldwasser is an Israeli Egyptologist\, professor of Egyptology at the Hebrew University. She received her B.A. at Tel Aviv University\, continued studying at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, where she was awarded her M.A. and PhD degrees. She occupies the chair of Egyptology at the Hebrew University\, and is a Honorary Professor at the University of Göttingen\, she was guest professor at the University of Göttingen\, Harvard University and at the Collège de France. Her main interests are the semiotics of the hieroglyphic script\, intercultural relations: Egypt and the Levant\, metaphors and literary images in ancient Egyptian literature and the origin of the alphabet. She is the discoverer of the classification system in the hieroglyphic script. \n  \nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:To Refer or Not to Refer: Tracking Intertextuality in the Hebrew Bible
DESCRIPTION:Professor Machinist will develop aspects of intertextuality through several examples involving well-known biblical texts\, including Psalm 29—a famous “Canaanite” hymn in the Psalter. This seminar will be held in conjunction with Professor Schniedewind’s Ugaritic seminar. Graduate students are encouraged to read Psalm 29 and Y. Avishur’s chapter on “Psalm 29” in Studies in Hebrew and Ugaritic Psalms. \n  \n  \nDr. Peter Machinist\nHarvard Divinity School \nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Modelling Long-Distance Interaction in the Middle Bronze Age
DESCRIPTION:The Old Assyrian trade network c. 1895-1865 BCE is by far the best documented example of how a long-distance commercial circuit was organized and run in the ancient world. But the Assyrian records show that the circuit to which they relate was not isolated. It formed part of a chain of comparable units and was kept intentionally separate from competing entities. This talk will explore some of those other linked and competing commercial networks of the Middle Bronze Age in the Near East (2000-1500 BCE)\, both through the Assyrian trade records and the contemporary archaeological assemblage from Anatolia and beyond. \nLight lunch provided. \nGojko Barjamovic\nLecturer on Assyriology; Director of Undergraduate Studies \nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Sea Peoples and Neo-Hittites in the ‘Land of Palistin’: Recent Discoveries at Tayinat on the Orontes
DESCRIPTION:Recent archaeological discoveries have begun to challenge the prevailing view of the Early Iron Age (ca. 1200-900 BCE) as an era of cultural devolution and ethnic strife\, or a ‘Dark Age’\, in the eastern Mediterranean\, as depicted in the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible. This illustrated talk will highlight the exciting discoveries of the University of Toronto’s ongoing excavations at ancient Tayinat. \nTIMOTHY HARRISON\n(University of Toronto) \nCosponsored by the\nUCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\nUCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology
