description: The volume contains 30 contributions to the theme of Ritual and Sacrifice in Ancient Egypt, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, Anatolia and South Arabia, ranging from early historical to Roman times. These are revised and sometimes enlarged versions of papers read at the International Conference on Ritual and Sacrifice in the Ancient Near East, held in Leuven from 17-20 April 1991 to celebrate the centenary of academic teaching of Ancient Near Eastern languages at the KULeuven. The papers are written in English, French and Germand and sometimes illustrated; by their diversity they reflect the richness of international scholarship related to Ancient Near Eastern religious thinking and practice.
