Summary:

Marcel Sigrist is known in the world of assyriologists for his major contribution to the knowledge of the Ur III period (ca. 2100-2000 BC), owing in particular to the transcription of thousands of tablets that he published in various books. For several decades he taught Assyriology at the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, where he also served as the director on several occasions. His scholarly legacy includes a selfless commitment to science, a desire to make the world of the Bible better known, as well as a concern to share his knowledge of the Ancient Near East and the Holy Land with a wider audience and not only with specialists. The many researchers, from all over the world who came to work in Jerusalem also remember Marcel Sigrist's warm welcome. This volume, written in English and French by several renowned colleagues, is a token of their esteem and gratitude.0.
