Nocturnal Ciphers: The Allusive Language of Dreams in the Ancient Near East - American Oriental Series
Scott Noegel
This monograph seeks to understand the cultural context and function of wordplay as employed by ancient Mesopotamian dream interpreters and other divinatory experts. The author then aims to use this context to explain the presence of punning in Akkadian literary and epistolary accounts of enigmatic dreams.
