In the course of five days, nearly 150 papers were read in three (and sometimes four) parallel sessions. Many of them were delivered within the framework of nine thematic workshops. The publication of most of these panels is underway, in separate volumes. As is usually the case, the academic sessions were accompanied by many opportunities for social interaction among the participants, and there was time to enjoy the historical and cultural benefits of Warsaw. Special honor was accorded to two American Assyriologists whose origins can be traced to Warsaw, Piotr Michalowski and Piotr Steinkeller, and a special session to recognize their contributions to the study of ancient Mesopotamia was organized. In this book are presented papers on the main theme of the meeting, "Fortune and Misfortune in the Ancient Near East." The 31 essays are organized into 5 sections: (1) plenary presenations on "What Is Fortune? What Is Misfortune?"; (2) humanity and fortune/misfortune and luck, with discussion of specific examples; (3) additional papers on definitions of fortune and misfortune; (4) the effects on city and state; and (5) God and temple. 546 English; 1 contribution in French, 1 contribution in German. 650 0 Assyriology |vCongresses. 650 0 Civilization, Assyro-Babylonian |vCongresses. 650 0 Fortune |zMiddle East |xHistory |vCongresses. 650 7 Assyriology. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00819244 650 7 Civilization, Assyro-Babylonian. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00862983 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423772 700 1 Drewnowska, Olga, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010140202 700 1 Sandowicz, Małgorzata, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2013001507 710 2 Uniwersytet Warszawski, |ehost institution. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81028874 852 0 |bf |hPJ3121 |i.R45 2014 902 kl |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170217 904 kl |ba |hm |cb |e20170217 914 (OCoLC)ocn962442414 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f962442414
