The literally "unique" Martu poem (18th century B.C.) treats Martu, the eponymous god, or rather culture hero, of the Bedouins of the Syrian steppe. In a wider sense it brings the 'message' of the peaceful amalgamation of the desert tribes with the urban populations. A full critical text edition, with a number of new readings, and with full translation and, where necessary, a running commentary. The poem is analysed with due acknowledgement of its primary mode of existence, viz. that of a literary text.Vanstiphout, H. L. J. is the author of 'Martu Hymn' with ISBN 9789004123854 and ISBN 9004123857.
