In Remembrance of Me: Feasting with the Dead in the Ancient Middle East (Oriental Institute Museum Publications, 37)
Language: English
Published by Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, 2014
ISBN 10: 1614910170 ISBN 13: 9781614910176
First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Scarce. This intriguing soft cover book is 176 pages in length, and features 140 color, and black-and-white illustrations. While this is a brand new book, the wraps have slight shelf wear. Photographs are available upon request. "This Oriental Institute Museum exhibit catalog looks at how the living commemorated and cared for deceased ancestors in the ancient Middle East. The focus of the exhibit is the memorial monument (stele) of an official named Katumuwa (ca. 735 BC), discovered in 2008 by University of Chicago archaeologists at the site of Zincirli, Turkey. Part I of the catalog presents the most comprehensive collection of scholarship yet published on the interpretation of the Katumuwa Stele, an illuminating new document of ancestor cult and beliefs about the soul. In Part II, leading scholars describe the relationship between the living and the dead in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia, and the Levant (Syria-Palestine), providing a valuable introduction to the family and mortuary religion of the ancient Middle East. The fifty-seven objects cataloged highlight the role of food and drink offerings and stone effigies in maintaining a place for the dead in family life.
