330 .. $a "In The Revival of the Anu Cult and the Nocturnal Fire Ceremony at Late Babylonian
Uruk, Julia Krul offers a comprehensive study of the rise of the sky god Anu as patron
deity of Uruk in the Late Babylonian period (ca. 480-100 B.C.). She reconstructs the
historical development of the Anu cult, its underlying theology, and its daily rites
of worship, with a particular focus on the yearly nocturnal fire ceremony at the Anu
temple, the Bit Res. Providing the first in-depth analysis of the ceremony, Julia
Krul convincingly identifies it as a seasonal renewal festival with an important exorcistic
component, but also as a reinforcement of local hierarchical relationships and the
elite status of the Anu priesthood"
