The Rise and Fall of the Aramaeans in the Ancient Near East, from Their First Appearance until 732 BCE - New Studies on Aram and Israel (Paperback, New edition)

In the early nineties, after Reinholds first publication "Die Beziehungen Altisraels zu den aramaischen Staaten in der israelitisch-judaischen Koenigszeit" an archaeological find came to light with the broken pieces of the early Aramaic written Tel Dan Stela, which has greatly illuminated the portrait of Aram and ancient history of Israel. The author offers a renewed overview to the Aramaean history on the foundation of the forced researches in the last 50 years. This begins with the early testifying of Aram in cuneiform sources of the 3rd/2nd Mill. B.C. from the Mesopotamian and Syrian area and ends with the decline of Aram-Damascus. The Volume incorporates a revised edition of the researches history and two excurses about the newest palaeographic results to the second line of the Bar-Hadad Stela of Aleppo in Syria on the base of precision photographs and computer-enhancements and presents a new transcription and translation of the Tel Dan Stela fragments. These are a certain basis to build on the royal line of sucession in Aram-Damascus and to illuminate their historical background in the Ancient Near East. Reinhold emphasizes, that the results of archaeology could always be adapted or replaced by recent discoveries; but he hopes that the "New Studies on Aram and Israel" will be served as a base for the future research of the Near Eastern Archaeology and History.
