It argues that the Akkadian, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek works discussed are all part of a developing scribal discourse of mantic historiography by which scribes blend their local traditions of history writing and predictive texts to produce a new mode of historiographic expression. This in turn calls into question the use and usefulness of traditional literary categories such as apocalypse to analyze such works." 410 0$aBrown Judaic studies ;$vno. 354. 606 $aProphecy in literature 606 $aAssyro-Babylonian literature$xRelation to the Old Testament 606 $aAssyro-Babylonian literature$xHistory and criticism 607 $aMiddle East$xCivilization$yTo 622 615 0$aProphecy in literature. 615 0$aAssyro-Babylonian literature$xRelation to the Old Testament. 615 0$aAssyro-Babylonian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a939.4/02072 700 $aNeujahr$b Matthew$01870609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964887603321 996 $aPredicting the past in the ancient Near East$94479125 997 $aUNINA
