Discovery of an Assyrian Library 3.500 Vears Old.

PROFESSOR SAYCE’S DESCRIPTION OF IT.

Tue Victoria Institution of London held its annual meeting at Adelphi Terrace on July Ist. The report for tho past year was read by Captain Francis Petrie, the Honor- ary Secretary, by which it appeared that the number of home, foreign and Colonial members had increased to over 1,300, and there had been an important advance in the practical work of the Institute in in- vestigating philosophical and scientific questions, especially any questions used by those who unhappily sought to attack reli- gion in the name of science.

It was announced that family matters, consequent on the death of his father, pre- vented Professor Sayce’s presence, and he had chosen the Rev. Dr. Wright, author of ‘The Hittites,” to read the ,address. It gave an historical description of what has become known in regard to the conquests of Amenophis I11., as shown by the archives of his palace, which have only lately been diseovered, and which the Professor went last winter to investigate on the spot before writing the Address for the Victoria In- stitute. Of the tablets and inscriptions he said:—‘* From them we learn that in the fifteenth century before our era — a century before the Exodus — ac- tive literary intercourse was going on throughout the civilised world of Western Asia, between Babylon and Egypt and the smaller states of Palestine, of Syria, ot Mesopotamia, and even of Eastern Kap- padokia. And this intercourse was carried on by means of the Babylonian language,

and the complicated Babylonian script. This implies that, all over the civilized East, there were libraries and schools

where the Babylonian language and _litera- ture were taught and learned. Babyloniin appeared to have been as much the lan- guage of diplomacy and cultivated society as French has become in modern times, with the difference that, whereas it dacs net take long to learn to read French, the cuneiform syllabary required years of hard labor and attention before it could be acquired. “We can now understand the meaning of the name of the Canaanitish city which stood near Hebron, and which seems to have been one of the most im portant of the towns of Southern Palestine. Kirjath-Sepher, or ‘* Book-town,” must have been the seat of a famous library, con- sisting mainly, if not altogether, as the Tel- el-Amarna tablets inform us, of clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform characters. As the city a'so bore the name of Debir, or **Sanc- tuary,’ we may conclude that the tablets were stored in its chief temple, like the libraries of Assyria and Babylonia. It may be that they are still lying under the soil, awaiting the day when the spade of the excavator shall restore them to the light. The literary influence of Babylonia in the age before the Israelitish conquest of Pa- lestine explains the occurrence of the names of Babylonian deities among the inhabit- ants of the west. Moses died on the sum- mit of Mount Nebo, which received its name frou. the Babylonian god of literature, to whom the great temple of Borsippa was dedicated; and Sinai itself, the 1.0untain ‘“‘of Sin,” testifies to a worship of the Ba- bylonian Moon-god, Sin, amid the solitudes of the desert. Moloch or Malik, was a Babylonian divinity like Rimmon, the Air- god, after whom more than one locality in Palestine was named, and Anat, the wife of Anu, the Sky-god, gave her name to the Palestinian Anah, as well as to Anathoth, the city of ** the Anat-goddesses.”

In a careful reading of the tablets Canon Sayce came upon many ancient names and incidents known up to the present only from their appearance in the Bible. All these he carefully described, as well as sev- eral references in the tablets to the Hit- tites.

In regard to another point he said :—

‘Ever since the progress of Egyptology made it clear that Rameses II. was the Pharaoh of the oppression, it was difficult to understand how so long an interval of time as the whole period of the 18th Dy- nasty could lie between him and the ‘new king’ whose rise seems to have been follow- ed almost immediately by the servitude and oppression of the Hebrews. ‘The tab- lets of Tel el-Amarna now show that the difficulty does not exist. Up tothe death of Khu-en-Aten, the Semite had greater influence than the native in the land of Mizraim.”’

teferring to those who have formed opinions of the non-historieal character of the Pentateuch, Professor Sayce said :— ‘The Tel el-Amarna tablets have already overthrown the primary foundation on which much of this criticism has been built.”

Professor Sayce closed his paper with a peroration of passing eloquence as to the duty of searchimg for the rch libraries that must lie buried beneath the sands of Syria and Palestine.
