This is a handy little guide to have for ANE prophecy. If you are a student of the biblical prophets, this is a handy little guide if you want to compare biblical prophets to those in the ANE. Most of the book is comprised of the prophets from Mari and Ashurbanipal's library (including prophecies for Esarhaddon). There are also a few West Semitic prophecies.
