Document Details : Title: History, Anthropology and the Aramaeans Subtitle: Apropos of a New History of the Aramaeans Author(s): BUNNENS, Guy Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 56 Date: 2019 Pages: 347-366 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.56.0.3286823 Abstract : Taking as a starting point the recently published book A Political History of the Arameans by K.L. Younger, Jr., the paper advocates a broadening of the methodological approach to the reconstruction of ancient history, which, besides textual criticism and anthropological models, should consider diachronic sequences of phenomena complemented by a comparative study of similar sequences and phenomena occurring in distinct and unrelated contexts. |
