Just arrived! the second edition of “Götter und Mythen des Alten Orients” by Prof. Manfred Krebernik. A short description (also in German):

„Das Gilgames-Epos, den Weltschöpfungsmythos (Enumaelis) und natürlich den Sintflutmythos (Atrahasis) mögen die meisten Leserinnen und Leser kennen. Doch hat der Alte Orient noch viele weitere faszinierende Mythen hervorgebracht, die Manfred Krebernik in seiner konzisen Einführung in dieses große Thema vorstellt. Dieser informative Band bietet spannende Begegnungen mit Göttern, Kulten und Kulturen einer längst vergangenen Welt.“

Middle Babylonian Literary Texts from the Frau Professor Hilprecht Collection, Jena. TMH 12. by Elyze Zomer

This volume contains editions of literary fragments from the Middle Babylonian period (ca. 1500–1000 BCE) kept in the Hilprecht-Collection in Jena. Presented in full are The Epic of Gulkišar (HS 1885+), a Mythological Narrative on Pa(p)nigara (HS 1886), a Ceremony in the Ekur (HS 1902), and the Games Text (HS 1893), with introductions, transliterations, translations, philological commentaries, hand copies and photographs.
All texts are of special interest; The Epic of Gulkišar is a Middle Babylonian copy narrating the heroic deeds of its eponymous Sealand I king against Samsuditana, the last king of the First Dynasty of Babylon, the Mythological Narrative on Pa(p)nigara portrays the otherwise poorly known deity Pa(p)nigara, the Ceremony in the Ekur tells us of an hitherto unknown ceremony carried out at the Ekur temple in Nippur, and the Games Text is unique in the fact that it enumerates a great variety of children’s games set in daily life Babylon.
