R. Kraus identified the name Gulkisar on a tiny Akkadian literary fragment with a Middle Babylonian ductus in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, i.e., Ni.13090. This text remained in obscurity until Marten Stol found a handwritten edition of it among F. R. Kraus' personal notes in Leiden and communicated the information in August 2014 to Michael Streck and Nathan Wasserman as a contribution to the ongoing SEAL-project (Leipzig/ Jerusalem). Subsequently, the note (Fig. 1) was passed on to the present author, who was preparing an edition of the Epic of Gulkisar which appeared in Zomer, 2019: 28-37 (= TMH 12, no. I). The Istanbul-fragment (Ni.13090) was quickly recognized to belong to a text different from the Epic of Gulkisar, which consists in tum of one main fragment in the Hilprecht Collection in Jena (HS 1885 2) and two smaller fragments in the University Museum of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (N 4026 and N 1338). The transliteration off. R. Kraus' note was provided by Zomer, 2019: 24f. n. 182. In Autumn 2022, the author was able to collate Ni. I 3090, which finally warrants the present publication providing hand-drawn copies (Figs. 2-4) and a philological edition of the tablet. Although Ni.13090 is only a small fragment (50 x 29 x 27), in spirit of the jubilee, it is hoped that it enables future joins with other fragments from Istanbul, Philadelphia and Jena. Until recently, Gulkisar, the sixth king of the First Sealand Dynasty was relatively obscure, attested only in the king lists (Synchronistic Kinglist'; Babylonian Kinglist A 4 and 8 5), in a Distanzangabe in a kudurru (BE I, 83) stating the time elapsed between his reign and Enlilnadin-apli (11 th century BCE) 6 and in a forged colophon of a glass-making treatise. 7 With the publication of an archive of the First Sealand Dynasty by Dalley (2009), we have gained insights in the palatial administration of the kings Pesgaldarames and Ayadaragalama, direct Eberhard Karls University of TUbingen. 2 Note that HS 1885 was previously joined by Joachim Oelsner with HS 2819 in ea. 1975. This fragment is now permanently fixed to the main fragment HS 1885. ...

A Scolari család várai Ozorai Pipó idején: Palagio di Tizzano és Castello di Vicchiomaggio. Kutatási beszámoló. (The Scolari family's castles in the Florentine contado) By Katalin (Kati) Prajda

It was undoubtedly the most important profane building founded by the Spano in the Kingdom of Hungary which served as residence for his nuclear family in the 1420s. During these years the Scolari owned two other castles of the same importance in the Florentine countryside. Meanwhile the so- called Palagio di Tizzano belonged to Matteo Scolari’s estates, the castle at Vicchiomaggio was part of the Hungarian bishop Andrea di Filippo Scolari’s properties. The present article investigates the history of the three buildings during the 1410s- 1420s and analyzes their architectural details. ...

They designate art historical genres defined in terms of form, with the aim of being objective. There are no equivalents for such categories in ancient Mesopotamia, the region of the ancient Near East on which this chapter focuses. The terms alan, an-dul 3 , and ṣ almu, which in accompanying inscriptions and other texts refer to anthropomorphic statues, designated more generally an "image" or a "manifestation." They were also used as early as the Early Dynastic period to refer to anthropomorphic figures carved in relief (Waetzoldt 2000; Evans 2012: 112-15), and to aniconic Middle and Neo-Assyrian stelae (Feldman 2009: 46). The Stele of Hammurabi (Figure 16.1) refers to the image of the king and to the entire monument with the terms ṣ almu and narû, respectively: "Let a wronged man who has a legal case come before my image (depicting me as) king of justice, and let him have my inscribed stone monument read out loud; let him hear my precious pronouncements, let my stone monument reveal the case to him" (xlviii 3-17). 1 Mesopotamian stelae were largely royal monuments and ideal vehicles for self-representation, since they provided space for both extended visual narratives and long texts. The Akkadian term (narû) designating this image-and text-carrier is a loan from Sumerian na(4)-ru 2-a, which literally means "erected stone." In late second-and early first-millennium Babylonia, it was appropriated for stone boulders that record ...
