NOUVELLES RECHERCHES AUTOUR DE LA STÈLE DE MÉSH...

When in August 1868 the Alsatian Frederick A. Klein  the first European to be shown the stele
with the inscription of the Moabite King Mesha (c. 853-810 BC) in Dhiban in East Jordan  he
could not have foreseen the extent to which this find and its evaluation would promote research
into both the Levant of the 9th century BC and the Old Testament up to the present day. Of all
the texts in the Moabite language  the inscription of King Mesha is still the most
comprehensive. Already Ernest Renan described it in the 19th century as La reine de toutes les
inscriptions sémitiques.This volume documents the papers presented on 2 and 3 October 2018 on
the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the finding of the Mesha Stele at a conference
organised in Paris by the Collège de France  the Musée du Louvre and the Deutscher Verein zur
Erforschung Palästinas. First of all  the discovery and acquisition of the stele  its transfer
to the Louvre  its reconstruction and its deciphering are examined. Further articles discuss
questions of epigraphy  philology and the dating of the inscription. This is followed by
articles on the historical and biblical aspects of the inscription as well as on the royal
ideology and religion of the Mesha-Inscription.Contributions in French  English and German.
