About the Book

English summary: Temples decisively shaped ancient Near Eastern cultures in multiple ways. Temples figure as the center of cities from both an architectural as well as a social perspective and they also came to have enormous economic meaning. Moreover, temples were closely associated with their royal builders and founders and religious life was concentrated within them. The anthology Temples in the Ancient Near East focuses on the complex themes of ancient Near Eastern temples in a broader perspective. The subject matter extends from the planning designs of individual buildings and their spatial embedding to literary descriptions as well as central, cultic, and religious aspects and the economic and social functions of temple organization. The time frame covered by this book goes from the Neolithic period to the Achaemenid dynasty in Persia, and its geographic frame spans the entire Near East from Anatolia and the Levant to Iran. This book provides, therefore, archeological, historical, and philological offerings and an extensive view over all current research questions related to the central themes and achieves a solid study in economic, social and religious history as well as in architecture, art and literary history. German description: Tempel pragten die altorientalischen Kulturen in mehrfacher Weise entscheidend. Tempel bildeten das Zentrum der Stadte in baulicher wie in sozialer Hinsicht, ihnen kam eine enorme wirtschaftliche Bedeutung zu. Zudem waren die Tempel den koniglichen Bauherren und Stiftern eng verbunden und in ihnen konzentrierte sich das religiose Leben. Der Sammelband Tempel im Alten Orient widmet sich dem komplexen Thema des altorientalischen Tempels in einer breiten Perspektive. Die Bandbreite umfasst dabei die Planungsschemata der Einzelgebaude und ihre raumliche Einbettung durch literarische Beschreibungen sowie zentrale kultische und religiose Aspekte und wirtschaftliche und soziale Aufgaben der Tempelorganisation. Der Zeitraum reicht vom Neolithikum bis zu den Achameniden, der geographische Rahmen umspannt den gesamten Vorderen Orient von Anatolien uber die Levante bis nach Iran. Auf diese Weise bieten die archaologischen, historischen und philologischen Beitrage einen umfassenden Uberblick uber aktuelle Forschungsfragen zu diesem zentralen Thema und leisten einen fundierten Beitrag zur Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, zur Religionsgeschichte sowie zu Architektur, Kunst- und Literaturgeschichte.
