Excerpt from The Empire of the Amorites
This volume is published by the Yale University Press on the Alexander Kohut Memorial Publication Fund. This Foundation was established October 13, 1915, by a gift to Yale University from members of his family for the purpose of enabling scholars to publish texts and monographs in the Semitic field of research.
The Reverend Alexander Kohut, Ph.D. (Leipzig), a distinguished Oriental scholar, in whose memory the fund has been established, was born in Hungary, April 22, 1842, of a noted family of rabbis. When pastor of the Congregation Ahavath Chesed in New York City, he became one of the founders of the Jewish Theological Seminary, and was a professor in that institution until his death. He was a noted pulpit orator, able to discourse with equal mastery in three languages. Among his contributions to Semitic learning is the monumental work Aruch Completum, an encyclopaedic dictionary of the Talmud, in eight volumes. Semitic and Oriental scholars have honored his memory by inscribing to him a volume of Semitic Studies (Berlin, 1897).

Excerpt from The Empire of the Amorites
In popularizing these theories, as well as others not SO far-reach ing, that arose in Germany, certain American and English scholars resorted to all kinds of efforts to pare them down so as to make them more palatable: by making the borrowings early instead Of late, proposing that when Israel entered Palestine they were part Of the mental possession of the people; or by making it appear that these Babylonian myths were Simply used in a devotional way to illustrate ethical implications, or as media for the expression of a more spiritual faith. In many quarters, scholars gravitated toward this theory; and it was conceded generally that there was a considerable dependence upon Babylonia. Reflections of these revolutionary ideas flared up almost everywhere.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of ancient history, specifically focusing on the often-overlooked Amorite civilization. It challenges the prevailing notion that Arabia was the sole cradle of Semitic culture, proposing instead that the Amorites, with their own rich heritage, played a pivotal role in shaping the ancient Near East. The author meticulously examines a wealth of evidence, including place names, personal names, and religious practices, to reconstruct the history and influence of the Amorite empire. This exploration leads to a reevaluation of the origins of Mesopotamian civilization, suggesting that the Amorites, rather than being mere recipients of Babylonian culture, may have been significant contributors to its development. The book's insights extend beyond Mesopotamia, tracing Amorite presence and impact in regions such as Syria, Palestine, and even Egypt. By shedding light on this forgotten empire, the author invites readers to reconsider long-held assumptions about the ancient world and appreciate the complexities of cultural exchange and influence in antiquity. This reassessment of the Amorites' place in history provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of ancient civilizations and their interconnectedness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
