No full textLa 'perla dei regni': Babilonia fra mito e storia
No full textBiblical and classical sources have transmitted to the Western cultures a mythical and stereotyped portrait of Babylon, the foremost Mesopotamian city from the early II millennium B.C. until the late antiquities. The mythical and predominantly negative image of Babylon was for the first time challenged on the basis of archaeological and epigraphic finds which - from mid-nineteenth century - were brought to light in Mesopotamia. The present study aims at providing an updated historical sketch of ancient Babylon, through a combined analysis of the pertinent ancient Near Eastern evidence and the graeco-roman sources

L'età neobabilonese
No full textThe study offers an up-to-date synthesis of the last phase of the Ancient Mesopotamia history (625-539 BC) on the basis of the most recently acquired documentary sources. Beginning with the critical analysis of Mesopotamian cuneiform sources, as well as the biblical and classical ones, the study reconstructs the political, social and economic history, giving emphasis to the royal ideology which oscillated between tradition and innovation. It also gives a general picture of Babylonian culture, underlining both the continuity with the ancient tradition and its survival into the Persian and Hellenistic ages

Computation Systems and Graphic Recording in Ancient Mesopotamia: Tokens and Proto-Cuneiform Writing
No full textThe present study summarises the current theories about the origins of cuneiform writing, starting from the evolutionist model proposed by I.J. Gelb, Study of Writing in 1961 to the sterling work of Denise Schmandt-Besserat culminating in Before Writing in 1992 which opened new perspective of research. The critical examination of the rich scientific literature descending from the studies of Schmandt-Besserat highlights the impact of her theories on assyriological research and weighs up both its validity and limits

Emilio Villa e le uova di Babilonia
No full textEmilio Villa was a multifaceted intellectual – poet, artist, art critic, translator of the Odissey and of the Hebrew Bible. He was also an assyriologist and a semitist. However, both in the field of art and of Oriental studies, he was an independent voice often outside the official culture. Attending the Pontificio Istituto Biblico in Rome he was a student of A. Deimel during the 1930’s and published a translation of the first tablet of the Enuma Elish as well as some other studies in the field of assyriology which remained largely unknown or ignored by the contemporary scientific community. Through the analysis of his assyriological studies as well as of the references or quotations of Mesopotamian culture in his entire intellectual life, the present article aims to reconstruct Emilio Villa’s assyriological formation from a technical point of view - teachers, bibliography and tools – and to place him in the Italian assyriological scholarship of that time
