What is The Installation of Baal's High Priestess at Emar: A Window on Ancient Syrian Religion (Harvard Semitic Studies) (English, Akkadian and Akkadian Edition) about?

Emar was an inland Syrian city contemporary with ancient Ugarit. This work presents a new edition, with translation and notes, of the ritual text for the installation of Baal's high priestess at Emar, based on the collation of the original tablets in Aleppo and Syria. A detailed commentary on the players, places, and paraphernalia of the ritual is included, along with an examination of the ritual's relevance to the community as a whole. The author also considers the Emar ritual as it sheds light on the place of Syria in ancient Near Eastern religion.
