Using intertextual parallels and comparison with similar works in other literatures, he espouses a new classification of the Babylonian disputation poems as parodies.  After examining neighboring traditions of literary disputation, he argues that the Babylonian poems influenced them, and that some may have been translated from Akkadian to Aramaic, from Aramaic and Syriac to Arabic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, \u003ci\u003eThe Babylonian Disputation Poems\u003c\/i\u003e provides editions of several previously unpublished Babylonian disputations, such as \u003ci\u003ePalm and Vine\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eSeries of the Spider\u003c\/i\u003e. It also offers the first edition of the latest known Babylonian fable, \u003ci\u003eThe Story of the Poor, Forlorn Wren\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“The present book is an exemplary model for editing and commenting upon ancient texts, and almost every approach has been taken into account.”\n-Markham J.
