Babel und Bibel 3
Author: Leonid E. KoganPublisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 1575065827
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 649
Book Description
This is the third volume of Babel & Bibel, an annual of ancient Near Eastern, Old Testament, and Semitic studies. The principal goal of the annual is to reveal the inherent relationship between Assyriology, Semitics, and biblical studies—a relationship that our predecessors comprehended and fruitfully explored but that is often neglected today. The title Babel & Bibel is intended to point to the possibility of fruitful collaboration among the three disciplines, in an effort to explore the various civilizations of the ancient Near East. The tripartite division of Babel & Bibel corresponds to its three principal spheres of interest: ancient Near Eastern, Old Testament, and Semitic studies. Contributions are further subdivided into articles, short notes, and reviews.

Book Description
Excerpt from Old Testament and Semitic Studies, Vol. 1: In Memory of William Rainey Harper This collection of papers is an unusual tribute to a strong and unique personality. It is Offered by a fellowship of scholars most Of whom were the personal friends Of President Harper, and many Of whom had come under the almost magical influence Of his teach ing. All are impelled by the desire to honor a fellow-student who has deserved well of learning. All are saddened by the thought that his last contribution has been made to the Old Testament and Semitic studies which he loved so ardently. His public connection with them covered more than twenty-five years, and the circum stances Of it appealed to the imagination. He was the representa tive, and indeed the embodiment, Of these studies for a large circle Of men and women who were introduced to them, directly and indirectly, through him. Some thus came to an intimate knowledge Of them. More reached superficial, though Often enthusiastic, acquaintance. Still Others merely watched the phenomenon, with keen interest, from without. For all Of these he held the middle of the field. He did nothing for display, but everything for efficiency, and from this point of View his life was not only an achievement, it was an astonishing Spectacle.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...valid enough so far as they go, continue to be disregarded; and Ley still has adherents who count their "accents" and will have nothing to do with "feet." Here again, I venture to affirm that the failure of Sievers' views to meet with general acceptance is due not so much to the penalties he levies upon the Hebrew language, grievous and unlawful as these penalties are--in this age of the making of all things new, a following is not refused upon so prosaic a ground as that. It is rather that, though his accents and syllables are marshaled in due order, the sound of his "rhythms" is intolerable to the ear of the trained Semitist, and no amount of argument or asseveration will serve to alter the matter. If it is true that meter does not exist for its own sake, it is just as true that rhythm never yet existed for its own sake. Quite apart from the specific mutilations of individual words, the mere fact that a certain way of reading the poetry of a language makes the general sound of it disagreeable to those who know it best, is enough to show that if such reading be a rhythmization, it is a rhythmization which the genius of the language will not endure. The rhythmization of poetry must give pleasure to those who understand the poetry. To quote the expressive New England phrase, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating."" Fortunately, however, there is no need of employing generalizations in this matter. Whether or not Sievers is in error as to the proper reading of Hebrew poetry, is a question which will take care of itself, if it can be shown that he is egregiously in error in the matter of his presuppositions in the domain of rhythm. There is no such thing as irrational rhythm, and the essence...
