Mandel Scholion Center is pleased to congratulate Mandel Fellow Dr. Céline Debourse on the publication of her first book, Of Priests and Kings: The Babylonian New Year Festival in the Last Age of Cuneiform Culture. The book, published by Brill, examines the Late Babylonian ritual texts of the twelve-day New Year Festival and demonstrates how these texts "reflect the Babylonian priesthoods' fears and aspirations of that time much more than an actual ritual."
