3.0 out of 5 stars
Highly specialized,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Time at Emar: The Cultic Calendar & the Rituals from the Diviner's House (Mesopotamian Civilizations 11) (Mesopotamian Civilizations 11) (Hardcover)
I am not an archaeologist nor a Semitics specialist but I am very interested in the work at Emar, particulary Fleming's. Yet this book was full of jargon and almost unapproachable. Moreover, I missed treatments of some of the old work on related topics, such those of Hildegard & Julius Lewy.Had this been a science work, it would have been published with a forbidding title rather than a sexy one. And it would have appeared as a scholarly monograph. As a monograph, I feel certain it must be doing a great job (because many specialists refer to it). But one day I hope that Fleming will reach out to the serious non-specialist with a different book, perhaps one called "Ancient Semitic Calendars for Dummies." |
