Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Im antiken Mesopotamien wurden Gebete der “Handerhebung” (su’ila) – bezeichnet nach der beim Beten eingenommenen Haltung – in ganz unterschiedlichen Zusammenhangen mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Absichten vorgetragen: von Heilern (asipu) zumeist in babylonischer Sprache als Bestandteil medizinisch-therapeutischer Rituale, eingebettet in komplexe Zeremonien zur Sicherung des Heils von Konig und Land, oder in der Emesal genannten Sprachvariante des Sumerischen von den sog. Klagesangern (kalu) im Rahmen alljahrlich begangener Feste an den Tempeln mesopotamischer Stadte. su’ila: Die sumerischen Handerhebungsgebete aus dem Repertoire des Klagesangers enthalt alle bekannten Handerhebungsgebete der Klagesanger und bietet neben einer grundlegenden philologischen Bearbeitung dieser Texte Studien zu allen relevanten Aspekten, die die Handerhebungsgebete der Klagesanger auszeichnen und von anderen Gebeten der Handerhebung unterscheiden. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei eine Untersuchung der Gattungsbezeichnung, Uberlieferung, Aufbau und Formensprache der Gebete sowie die kultische und rituelle Verankerung ihres Vortrags. Ein Glossar, in dem der sumerische und der akkadische Wortschatz der Gebete erschlossen wird, rundet die philologische Textbearbeitung ab.
