Was sind die Kiutu-Gebetsbeschwörungen? Was sind ihre besonderen Merkmale im Vergleich zu anderen Arten von Gebetsbeschwörungen? Unter Verwendung vieler bisher unverö fentlichter Texte bietet dieses Buch die erste vollständige philologische Edition eines Korpus der sumerischen Literatur, der in der Wissenschaft oft unterrepräsentiert ist. Das Buch untersucht diese speziell an den Sonnengott gerichtete Texttypologie und ordnet sie in die breitere Geschichte der mesopotamischen Literatur und Religion ein. Einzigartig ist, dass diese Typologie von Gebetsbeschwörungen die Bewegung der Sonne am Himmel mit der Tageszeit verbindet, zu der sie vorgetragen wurde, was uns einen seltenen Einblick in die praktische Realität der mesopotamischen religiösen Praxis gewährt.

The myth featuring Utu encountering his sister Inana at the eastern horizon was otherwise attested only in scattered texts, like Utu F. This composition offers also a rare literary description of the far-flung trade of precious metal, stone, and above all aromatics that went through the trading hub of Sippar. This resembles Utu's role as the city god of Sippar, as patron of travelling merchants and also as protector of the weak.

Such an inhomogeneous corpus includes texts from Larsa, Sippar, Ur, Meturan, and Nippur. The aim is to trace the origin of such compositions based on internal literary features, even when the archaeological context is missing.

His work on the concept of the sacred was strongly innovative. However, the reception of Eliade's philosophy was and is still today strongly criticised for many reasons, one of them is the accuracy of his method. The present work does not aim to "rehabilitate" the past work of the philosopher as to reevaluate it in the light of Assyriology and analyse his reception in the field. The main question is whether his approach might be closer to ancient thinking than the one of other modern theories.
