Sažetak
The history of Ancient Near East has been studied in the region of Southeast Europe since the end of the nineteenth century, but the number of such publications has been very small. In some countries it seems that the history of the Ancient Near East was not scholarly researched for various reasons, but mainly because of the undeveloped scholarly capabilities and institutions, insufficient funds for archaeological research in the Near East, and the lack of cooperation with scholars from other countries. Since the 1960's, however, this situation has changed for the better, especially in some of the Republics of ex-Yugoslavia where a great number of scholars started to research various aspects of the history and culture of the Ancient Near East, especially the diffusion of the Oriental cults during the Hellenistic period and the Roman Empire. Since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990's, we can trace the increased production of various scholarly papers in which researchers, from these new countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, not only researched these cults but also the various aspects of the religion and literature of Ancient Sumer, Babylonia, and Israel. Their research, however, was mostly unknown to the scholars outside this region primarily because their results were written in their own native languages. In this future series of publications we will try to give a review of the history of the research done in this region of the Ancient Near East and Ancient Egypt, and present some of the latest research of our scholars. The first book is entitled „The research of the history and culture of the Ancient Near East in Southeast Europe: 1. Croatia“. In it you will find a selection of papers in which scholars from various institutions in this region reviewed the different aspects of past studies and the development of the research of the Ancient Near East in some countries, along with recent research in the field.
