"This splendid combined Festschrift for two of the dies superiores of third-millennium studies offers thirty-seven essays by forty-two authors, mostly spanning the Uruk IV to the Old Babylonian periods. (...) Along the way the authors discuss the nature and consequence of human praise of divinities and the meaning of Inanna’s attribute kù “radiant” or “brilliant.” These last properties well describe the cumulative effect of these studies in honor of two master scholars who have played a leading role in the exploration of the recalcitrant, fascinating, and evergrowing treasury of Mesopotamian written sources of the third millennium BCE."
