Miglio","doi":"10.1086/718002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/718002","url":null,"abstract":"Literary symbols are complex by their very nature. They are inherently polyvalent. At their best, symbols are both denotative and suggestive. They anchor the reader in the storyline and simultaneously direct her to significance and meaning beyond the literal to something less obvious. This article considers how birdcalls and bird imagery help to develop the setting and storyline in the Gilgameš Epic and also function as symbols that accentuate important themes. An appreciation of birds’ denotative and suggestive meanings is facilitated by the presentation and perceptions of these animals in first-millennium lexical lists and commentaries (ur5-ra = ḫubullu, mur-gud), the omen compendium Šumma ālu, and especially the scholarly tablets known as “the birdcall texts.” After drawing upon the cultural associations of birds and their calls to explain the imagery in the Gilgameš Epic, consideration will be given to possible historical circumstances whereby lexical traditions, omen literature, and birdcall texts might have influenced the tradents who standardized this literary composition. Tablet V of the Standard Babylonian Gilgameš Epic1 opens with a scenic description of the Cedar Forest and its soundscape. This mythical woodland was “ . . . the gods’ dwelling place, the goddesses’ exalted abode” (V:7). As such, it was characterized by “luxuriance” and “plenty” (e.g., ḫiṣbu [V:8], nuḫšu [V:23]) with birds and other creatures contributing to the Forest’s lively noises.2","PeriodicalId":45745,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF NEAR EASTERN STUDIES","volume":"81 1","pages":"165 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42348231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence for this is that a certain Eliya, bishop of Mashmahig (possibly today’s Samahīj on Muḥarraq island), was present at the first East-Syriac Synod in SeleuciaCtesiphon (410), while another bishop of Mashmahig was deposed and excommunicated at the same synod. From the sixth century onwards, in addition to Mashmahig, there were bishops in Dayrin (possibly on Tārūt island), Mazūn (Oman region), Hagar (Hajr), and Ḥatta (al-Khaṭṭ). Initially, these bishops were under the control of the metropolitan of Rev Ardashir, in Fars, until Beth Qaṭraye obtained its own metropolitan, whose existence is attested only in 676.2 However, most of our information on Beth Qaṭraye pertains to the early Islamic period. An important example is the correspondence of Catholicos Ishoʿyahb III (Patriarch of the Church of the East, 649–59), which","PeriodicalId":45745,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF NEAR EASTERN STUDIES","volume":"81 1","pages":"71 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48039465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
