Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This seminar offers a comprehensive exploration of the Babylonian anti-witchcraft ritual Maqlû, a significant source for ancient Mesopotamian magical practices. Through reading and translating the Akkadian incantations and engaging with the cuneiform sources, students will develop their philological skills, including dealing with score editions, and gain knowledge of the historical and social context of Maqlû. In addition, students will be introduced to theoretical approaches to magic and ritual.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
All students are expected to prepare translations of the assigned texts which will be discussed in class. They are encouraged to work on their own translations and grammatical analysis using dictionaries and grammars, but are also permitted to consult previous editions and the online-edition of Maqlû on ORACC. Evaluation will further be based on group presentations where students will teach a Maqlû incantation of their choice to their peers.
MA students will in addition choose a subject for their seminar paper and present their preliminary research in class.
