In The Social World of the Babylonian Priest, Bastian Still presents a comprehensive
study of the priestly community of Borsippa during the Neo-Babylonian and early Persian
Empires (ca. 620-484 BCE). By examining patterns of marriage, landholding, moneylending,
and friendship, he provides an intimate account of the daily life of the Babylonian
priesthood beyond the temple walls and develops a more sophisticated understanding
of the organisation of ancient Babylonian society as a whole. Combining the use of
social network analysis, anthropological studies, and sociological concepts concerned
with kinship, tie strength, social boundaries, and identity formation, Bastian Still's
interdisciplinary approach transcends the traditional boundary of cuneiform studies
and enables the field of Assyriology to contribute to a more general socio-historical
discourse
