Divination and Political Administration at Ugarit

Original language description

This paper investigates the practice of divination within the political administration of Ugarit at the end of the Late Bronze Age. The core interpretative approach is to draw comparisons with similar practices in the broader ancient Near East, within which the local sources may be contextualised. The study focuses on divinatory models in clay from the “House of the Hurrian Priest,” and in ivory from the Royal Palace, and on divinatory compendia, both of local and Mesopotamian origin. The study draws connections between private and state divination, and outlines cooperation between the palace and other institutions at Ugarit.
