TWENTY YEARS
This year the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago is celebrating its twentieth anniversarywith work. In the spring of 1919 Mr. J o h n D. Rockefeller, Jr., wrote to the late Professor James H. Breasted, agreeing to support the work of a proposed Oriental Institute for five years on a budget of $10,000 a year. T h e Trustees of the University of Chicago took prompt action, approving the organization of the The Late James Henry Breasted new institution and adding to its assets. Professor Breasted announced as its ambitious ideal " t h e production of a comprehensive history of the origin and development of civilization." This was a high goal for so young an institution on such a limited budget. The twenty years of the Oriental Institute's vigorous youth have justified its ambitions and its program of continuing research.

BEFORE 1919
In the first place, it should be said that this Institute was no sudden whim induced by post-war opportunities. It was a comprehensive and longconsidered plan in the mind of Professor Breasted. In 1895 the young scholar, fresh from a Ph.D. in Egyptology, made his first visit to Egypt. In the individualistic fashion of his day, he was equipped to take in all the monuments of Egypt with a notebook and a camera for his observations and a donkey for transportation. If he had been content to follow the pattern of scholarship of the times, the result would have been a series of brief, isolated observations slowly building u p into a shadowy picture of the vast treasures of ancient Egypt. But this young man had a grander ambition, which he retained through years of active scholarship. Conditions after the World W a r presented a brilliant opportunity. T h e countries of the Near East had been opened u p under friendly and interested nations

and mandates. This was the region where our Western civilization had been born five or six thousand years before. By 1919 ninety years of archeological, linguistic, and historical work had laid down the large foundations of modern Oriental studies, leaving the way clear for the detailed superstructure. T h e success of further work clearly depended on some organization of specialists working together for a common goal. The clear-seeing leadership of James H . Breasted enabled an American institution, the University of Chicago, to grasp this opportunity.

BUILDING THE INSTITUTE

The history of the twenty years following 1919 may be presented only in large outline. A distinguished American Orientalist of another institution has written: " W h e n the first two-thirds of recorded human history shall have yielded most of its secrets it will be James Henry Breasted whom we must thank for the largest single share in its recovery." 1 Of Professor Breasted's many great achievements the one into which he poured most of his energies and ambitions was the Oriental Institute.

T h e initial budget permitted an examination of the field and of the opportunities. In 1919-20, while the Near East was still seething with the restless ambitions of the war, Professor Breasted and a group of colleagues made a survey trip through the Near East in order to weigh the situation. This required a daring dash u p the Euphrates through a wilderness still in a state of armed agitation. Despite the haste imposed by the existing conditions they could see a splendid chance for solid work. They returned to this country to make and test plans. Slowly the organization gained momentum. Beginning in 1925, the Institute enjoyed the generous support of the International Education Board, the General Education Board, and the Rockefeller Foundation. Well over four-fifths of its resources derived from these boards. I n addition, several interested individuals expressed their appreciation of the program and its initial results.

THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED

Largely because of this generous financial assistance the Oriental Institute has been able to approach the ancient Near East, that vast storehouse of evidence on early h u m a n history, from several different angles. Nearly thirty missions have been sent out from Chicago to undertake problems awaiting the investigator. Of these, thirteen have been full-time organized expeditions engaged in some major phase of the programexploration, excavation, or copyingin Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. T h e m a p inside the front cover of this booklet shows the distribution of these expeditions. In the United States, Chicago is the nerve-center for this activity. At the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago a program of teaching and research and of popular and scientific publication has been developed and enlarged. Pages 10 and 11 of this anniversary booklet present 4

oi.uchicago.edu pictorially some of the areas of activity and some of the achievements of the Oriental Institute during the past twenty years. It would take too long to give a detailed summary of the successes already gained. In general it may be said that in method and results these various projects have set a standard for scientific archeology. T h e sequence of Stone Age cultures in Egypt, the Institute's exact method of copying Egyptian scenes and inscriptions, the pioneering work in establishing by excavation a succession of cultural periods in Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Babylonia, and ancient Iran (Persia) are accomplished results which serve as a pattern of work not only for the Institute but also for other workers.

THE WORK TO BE DONE

At present the Institute is in a period of reduced activity. T h e death of Professor Breasted in December, 1935, came at the time of richest productivity. T h e man is gone, but his institution remains. T h e scholars in Chicago have exciting opportunities to work on materials uncovered during the past twenty years. T h e New York philanthropic boards, in accordance with their principle of initiating useful work, have provided

oi.uchicago.edu a basic endowment and have thus completed their larger participating interest in the Institute. T h e widespread financial difficulties of the 1930's have entailed a reduction of field activity. T h e year 1939 sees only three expeditions in the field, located in Egypt, Palestine, and Iran. But there is still a great deal of work challenging the Oriental Institute and all interested in its continued progress. T h e greatest immediate task is the publication of results. No piece of research is effective until it has reached some public presentation. In this respect the record of the Institute is already a proud one. Some ninety-five volumes have already been issued, and about twenty more are under immediate consideration or actually in press (see pages 9 Installation of a Ten- Ton Bull's Head from Persepolis in the Iranian Hall of the Institute Museum in Chicago and 22 to 32). These will not tell the whole story, for about sixty more valuable studies are now in preparation, and others will certainly follow. The chief problem of the next few years is the ability of the Institute to lay before the public the results of this organized investigation of early h u m a n history.

CELEBRATING THE ANNIVERSARY

O n its twentieth anniversary the Oriental Institute thus finds the challenge to work no less appealing than did its illustrious founder. For that reason there will be no celebration other than the meeting of this challenge. I n a hall of the Institute museum a sculptor will be installing monumental statues from the palaces of Darius and Xerxes at Persepolis. In a classroom one of the professors will be outlining the most recent understanding of Sumerian art resulting from excavations in Babylonia. In the editorial offices an author will be discussing his decipherment of the Hittite hieroglyphs with the editor of publications. In Egypt an artist will be making an accurate copy of a fast-perishing scene in the great temple of Karnak. In Palestine an expedition will dig down into the lower levels of Megiddo-Armageddon to discover the earliest civilized 6

oi.uchicago.edu life of that country. In the mountains of Iran an excavation financed jointly by the Oriental Institute, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the University of Pennsylvania Museum will complete its recovery of the treasury buildings of the Persian emperors Darius and Xerxes. T h e Institute has no lack of exciting work for its anniversary celebration.

A TASK FOR AMERICA

T h e Oriental Institute is an American organization which has set a record of achievement and is equipped to maintain a high standard of scholarship. Its work in unearthing, assembling, and publishing the story of ancient times has a direct importance for our own day, inasmuch as it aids American leadership in obtaining the necessary perspective for interpreting both the present and the future. T h e continuation of this work should therefore have a special appeal to all Americans. The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago merits your interest and assistance in its task.

Within Ramses Ill's great temple complex at Medinet Habu, opposite Luxor, is situated the Small Temple of Medinet Habu, the best preserved structure of its character in Egypt. Planned and partially built by Hatshepsut and completed by Thutmose III, this temple underwent many alterations. Professor Holscher gives an excellent account of its unique form and its architectural vicissitudes. Just north of Ramses Ill's great temple area were discovered remains of a large mortuary temple begun by King Eye and enlarged and completed by his successor, H a r m h a b . Although the building was completely destroyed, Professor Holscher has been able to reconstruct the ground plan. T h e nine foundation deposits of King Eye found in situ are fully published by Dr. Anthes. Two huge red granite statues, apparently made for King Tut c ankhamon but usurped first by Eye and then by H a r m h a b , were found in the area. THE EXCAVATION OF MEDINET HABU. II.

Both the archeologist and the geologist are closely concerned with the Oriental Institute's search for Paleolithic M a n in Egypt. Three descriptive volumes (OIP X and X V I I - X V I I I ) appeared in previous years. T h e fourth volume has just come from the press. In the present volume K. S. Sandford and W. J . Arkell complete the detailed survey from the Second Cataract of the Nile to the Mediterranean. T h e various geological strata, many of them containing h u m a n artifacts, are traced northward from Cairo, and their relationships to former levels of the Mediterranean are suggested. In the Wadi elTumilat, near the Suez Canal, the sequence of events is found to have been similar to that previously described in the Faiyum depression southwest of Cairo. Strata in the Gulf of Suez and on the west side of the Red Sea are also studied and compared with the known order of beds in the Nile Valley and adjacent Mediterranean coast.

oi.uchicago.edu SCULPTURE FROM TELL ASMAR AND KHAFAJAH reveals the stages of development of early Mesopotamian art and contributes to a better understanding of pre-Greek art in general. More works of Early Dynastic sculpture have come to light in the excavations of the Oriental Institute's Iraq Expedition, under Dr. H . Frankfort, than the sum total of all those found at other sites or preserved in various museums. In addition, the circumstances of their discovery have made it possible for Dr. Frankfort to distinguish two successive styles, so that for the first time an insight into the development of early Mesopotamian ("Sumerian") art is obtained. In the volume mentioned below Dr. Frankfort has given us the results of his penetrating study of these sculptures. According to him, the earliest statues seem to go back to the very beginning of monumental sculpture in Mesopotamiathat is, to about 3000 B . C , when the human figure was for the first time sculptured in the round in stone for a monumental purpose. A parallel and seemingly contemporaneous development took place in Egypt. This was an entirely new departure in pre-Greek art. Greek art of the 5th century B.C. created an innovation of almost equally wide significance as that of monumental sculpture itself. It introduced perspective in relief and drawing and organic instead of geometric unity in sculpture in the roundinterrelated innovations which Dr. Frankfort shows are opposed to the ideoplastic summation of the preGreek creative process. Since our own artistic conceptions are under the spell of the Greeks, a study of pre-Greek art presents a subject of exceptional interest, not only from the historical standpoint, but also for the understanding of the phenomenon of art itself. Dr. Frankfort's book is therefore of more than ordinary importance in the field of ancient art. In keeping with the nature and the importance of the volume, great care has been beOne of Many Statues from about stowed on the 116 plates and the colored 3000 B.C. Found at Tell Asmar frontispiece in order that they might do justice to the artistic qualities of the sculptures. The exceptional state of preservation of some of the statues allows us to judge also their polychrome effect, as is shown in the colored frontispiece, which conveys in a remarkable degree the impression received when viewing the statues in favorable light.

The most important single document for early Mesopotamian chronology is the Sumerian King List. In the present study Dr. Jacobsen has given a fully annotated critical edition of the text with discussion of all variants. With this as basis, he has singled out the author's sources and arranged them in what must have been their original form, thus producing a reliable synchronistic table for the cities of Kish, Uruk, Ur, Akshak, and Agade. The accuracy of this scheme is proved by numerous tests. His conclusions place the hitherto problematical chronology of Mesopotamia from 3100 to 2000 B.C. on a firm foundation.

T H E M E G I D D O I V O R I E S form the earliest, most comprehensive, and most magnificent group of Canaanite {"Phoenician'1'') carved and incised ivories yet known and reveal the wealth and splendor of the ruling princes of Megiddo. Outstanding among the discoveries of the Institute's Megiddo Expedition during the season of 1936/37 is a group of over two hundred carved and incised ivories found in a subterranean treasury of the "fifth palace" of the ruling princes of Megiddo, vassals of the Egyptian pharaohs in the first half of the 12th century B.C. I n the words of M r . Gordon Loud {Illustrated London News, October 23, 1937) "this collection of ivories . . . . presents in a single group what is probably the most comprehensive example of 13th century B.C. 'Phoenician' art that is known today. The enormous variety of form and design shows clearly the influences playing on this coastal area from all sides. Bes figures, sphinxes, lotus, and palmetto designs suggest Egypt. Facial features, coiffures, and crowns are more closely associated with the north country. Mesopotamian influence may be noted in the treatment of animals, which also suggests the art of the Mediterranean islands. T h e fact that these foreign characteristics are not represented as they would have been in their native region establishes . . . . local origin." T h e Institute has now made these ivories accessible to scholars and lovers of art in a beautiful folio volume in which 62 collotype plates reproduce the ivories in actual size, and some of the details at a scale of 4 : 1 .

This doctoral dissertation summarizes what is known of the Hyksos from ancient written sources and gives a brief picture of their material culture. It adduces evidence that they were a cultural force in Egypt and Palestine as early as the 12th dynasty, and that their cultural influence continued down to the time of Thutmose I I I . A general discussion of the ethnic composition of the Hyksos touches on many possibilities for further research.

Sargon II built Dur Sharrukin, his capital, some 12 miles northeast of the old capital, Nineveh (opposite modern Mosul). Continuing the work of Botta and Flandin (1842-43) and of Place and Thomas (1851-55), a section of the Institute's Iraq Expedition, under Gordon Loud, was able in eight seasons to add much to the already substantial contributions of its predecessors. It has identified Sargon's throneroom, six palace temples, the temple of Nabu, and the residences of the grand vizier and other high officials, and on this evidence has presented a series of new restorations. Pieces of colored ceiling and wall paintings, found in the throneroom and especially in one of the residences, have made possible a reconstruction of a complete and magnificent pattern. Several designs in glazed brick were also recovered. A large and splendid group of Assyrian sculptures has been rescued from destruction, among them a number of imposing bulls. All of these results are presented to the reader in the following two richly illustrated volumes.: KHORSABAD. By

oi.uchicago.edu EARLY M U S L I M STATE D O C U M E N T S F R O M EGYPT supplement our knowledge of Arab administration in the first century of Islam. Among the items acquired by the Institute in the B. Moritz collection are five papyri from K u r r a h ibn Shank, governor of Egypt in A.D. 709-14. These documents supplement similar Arabic K u r r a h papyri published by Carl Becker and the Greek K u r r a h papyri published by H. I. Bell. An introductory chapter on Arabic papyrology, state bureaus, writing materials, seals, script, style, and diction leads up to a study of the documents themselves, which are given in both photographic reproduction and type and in English translation. This is followed by a biography of K u r r a h ibn Shank and by a historical study of administrative conditions in Byzantine Egypt, the Muslim conquest of Egypt, and early Arab administration in Egypt. T h e work is therefore of value to students of history as well as to papyrologists. THE KURRAH PAPYRI FROM APHRODITO IN THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE (SAOC No. 15). By NABIA ABBOTT (1938). xviii + 101 pages, 2 figures, 4 plates, royal 8vo, paper . . . . . . $1.50 A R A B I C W R I T I N G A N D KURGAN M A N U S C R I P T S The North Arabic script traced from its Nabataean origin through various stages of its development, especially as evidenced by Kur^dnic writing, and illustrated by KurDdn manuscripts in the Oriental Institute. Handwriting as a fine art is an important part of artistic endeavor among peoples employing Arabic script, and though it has received considerable attention from Western scholars, the descriptive terminology and nomenclature of an extensive Arabic literature on Kmanic and other calligraphy was scarcely touched. The present study brings some of these difficult literary statements to bear on actually existing manuscript evidence and thus takes a step in the right direction and far in advance of the old classification of all Arabic scripts into "Kufic" and naskhi. T h e fully illustrated catalogue of the Kur D an manuscripts in the Oriental Institute, which forms chapter iv of this volume, offers illustrative material for the theoretical discussions of the preceding chapters. The book is of great value to students of Arabic, especially of Kmanic, writing and quite indispensable to cataloguers of K m a n manuscripts.
