The nature of divine speech in Antiquity in the Mediterranean Basin has often been the object of scholarly analysis, especially regarding its divinatory context and questions of genre and rhetoric. The present volume not only provokes a dialogue with this past research, but seeks to respond to a problem that has received little consideration until now: the articulation of divine speech with the various forms of its representation (linguistic, literary, and material). The aim is to analyze the nature of divine speech through its materiality and the impact of the latter on the former's definition and evolution.

Divine Speech According to Textual Sources in the Ancient Mediterranean Basin

This book investigates a corpus of royal inscriptions and literary texts stretching over several millennia from the early days of Sumer to the Biblical period, in order to determine the ways in which the concept of water was used.
