About this title

Synopsis

English summary: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th Melammu Symposium "Evidence Combined: Eastern and Western Sources in Dialogue", which took place in April 2017 in Beirut. The 21 articles of the volume, authored by Assyriologists, Classicists and Archaeologists, focus on the interaction between East and West. A substantial part of them deals with the history of the Levant, an area where different cultural spheres overlapped and interacted and where the local people, most famously the Phoenicians of Tyre and Byblos, took advantage of this position and played an important part in international trade. Based on an analysis of textual and archaeological evidence the articles give insight in the various ways of interactions between East and West. Funerary rites, textiles, seafaring and questions of the methodological approach to borders and interconnections are discussed besides more text-focused contributions which make a combined use of Eastern and Western sources in order to improve our understanding of events described in the texts of classical authors. German description: Dieser Sammelband enthalt die Beitrage des 11. Melammu Symposiums, das unter dem Titel "Evidence Combined: Eastern and Western Sources in Dialogue" im April 2017 in Beirut stattfand. Die 21 Beitrage stammen von Altorientalisten, Althistorikern sowie Archaologen und behandeln dementsprechend den Austausch zwischen Ost und West. Ein grosser Teil der Artikel beschaftigt sich mit der Geschichte der Levante, einem Gebiet, in dem verschiedene kulturelle Spharen zusammentrafen und dessen Bevolkerung, vor allem in den beruhmten Handelsstadten Tyros und Byblos, diese Stellung zu nutzen wusste und eine bedeutende Rolle im internationalen Handel spielte. Die Artikel des Bandes werten sowohl Texte als auch archaologische Daten aus, um einen Einblick in diesen Austausch zwischen Ost und West zu ermoglichen. Neben Beitragen zu Begrabnisriten, Textilien, der Seefahrt und zur konzeptuellen Frage, wie man Grenzen im Altertum verstehen kann, nahern sich zahlreiche Beitrage der Frage an, wie man die Quellen aus Ost und West in Dialog setzen kann, um unser Verstandnis von Ereignissen und Phanomenen zu vertiefen, die in den Schriften der klassischen Autoren beschrieben werden.
