English summary: Prof. Dr. Pascal Attinger has taught Ancient Near Eastern languages at the University of Bern for twenty years. He owes his international reputation to his works on Sumerian grammar and Sumerian literature of the Old Babylonian period. The present volume brings together twenty contributions by his friends, colleagues and doctoral students, mainly concentrating on the 500 years spanning the turn from the third to the second millennium BCE. Some studies deal with philological and linguistic aspects of Sumerian and Semitic Akkadian, including its dialects, while others focus on issues of history and culture. Several contributions present new editions of Sumerian (literary) texts, some of them hitherto unpublished. German description: Prof. Dr. Pascal Attinger lehrt seit 20 Jahren an der Universitat Bern die Sprachen des Alten Orients. Internationale Reputation verdankt er seinen Arbeiten zur sumerischen Grammatik und zur sumerischen Literatur der altbabylonischen Zeit. Der vorliegende Band vereinigt zwanzig Beitrage von Freunden, Kollegen und Doktoranden des Geehrten, die sich mehrheitlich mit den rund 500 Jahren um die Wende vom 3. zum 2. Jahrtausend v.Chr. befassen. Inhaltlich decken sie mehrere Themenbereiche ab: Es liegen sprachliche und linguistische Arbeiten zum Sumerischen und semitischen Akkadisch mit seinen verschiedenen Dialekten vor; andere Studien fokussieren auf kulturwissenschaftliche oder historische Fragestellungen. Mehrere Beitrage bieten (Neu-)Bearbeitungen von zum Teil noch unpublizierten sumerischen Texten oder Literaturwerken.

Neu -Neu an der Darstellung des Themas »Einzigkeit« eines Gottes ist der Versuch, den für die Bibel und dann für das Judentum als Glaubensbekenntnis zentralen Text Deuteronomium 6,4 (das Schma Jisrael) im Rahmen der altorientalischen Argumentation für die Einzigkeit eines Gottes zu verstehen. Die Vorgeschichte des Schma Jisrael läßt sich bis in die Baal-Texte aus Ras Shamra / Ugarit zurückverfolgen. 204 pp. Deutsch

This volume collects papers originally presented at an international meeting held in March 2017. They compellingly demonstrate the necessity for a "Paradigm Change in Pentateuchal Research" from various angles. It is by now generally recognised that the old paradigm, classically formulated in Wellhausens "Prolegomena zu einer Geschichte Israels", can no longer command a dominant position in the reconstruction of the genesis and structure of the Pentateuch. While the studies collected in this volume do not suggest that there is only one specific direction for the search of a new paradigm, they make clear that an important element for the furthering of the discussion is the use of empirical methods, in contradistinction to a dominance of subjective criteria and approaches developed in circumstances that are foreign to the cultural world of the ancient Near East. The authors of the studies represent diverse backgrounds not only in terms of geography, but especially in terms of professional specialization: Besides Biblical Studies, also the fields of Assyriology, Legal History, and Linguistics are represented. Some of the studies address methodological questions in an explicit and detailed way, while others are more focused on the analysis of specific texts. A majority of the studies convincingly demonstrate that most of the Pentateuch can be solidly rooted in the pre-exilic period.
