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. 606 $aAssyriologie$xCongrès 606 $aAssyriology$vCongresses 606 $aAssyriology$xCongresses 606 $aChance$xCongrès$xHistoire$xMachreq$xMiddle East$xHistory$xConference papers and proceedings 606 $aCivilisation assyro-babylonienne$xCongrès 606 $aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian$vCongresses 606 $aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian$xCongresses 606 $aFortune$xCongresses$xHistory$xMiddle East 606 $aFortune$zMiddle East$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aHISTORY / Ancient / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAssyriologie$xCongrès. 615 0$aAssyriology 615 0$aAssyriology$xCongresses. 615 0$aChance$xCongrès$xHistoire$xMachreq$xMiddle East$xHistory$xConference papers and proceedings. 615 0$aCivilisation assyro-babylonienne$xCongrès. 615 0$aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian 615 0$aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian$xCongresses. 615 0$aFortune$xCongresses$xHistory$xMiddle East. 615 0$aFortune$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Ancient / General. 676 $a892.1 701 $aSandowicz$b Ma?gorzata$0713891 701 $aDrewnowska$b Olga$01515648 712 02$aUniwersytet Warszawski. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792949803321 996 $aFortune and Misfortune in the Ancient Near East$93751555 997 $aUNINA
