Abstract
© School of Oriental and African Studies 1987. All rights reserved. A group of scholars from Britain, Holland, Germany, and Israel met at the Warburg Institute and the School of Oriental and African Studies in November 1983, to discuss the use of figurative language in Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, and biblical Hebrew literature. The papers were presented in memory of Henri Frankfort, and consequently also took into account figurative expression in ancient art and architecture. The original impetus for the colloquium came from Thorkild Jacobsen's extended visit to London as guest of the British Academy, and all of the participants came to honour both Frankfort's memory and Jacobsen's presence. This volume represents the fruits of that meeting.
