| Summary: | The potentially ominous presence of certain types of fungi in the ancient Near East is attested in ritual prescriptions in both Israel and Mesopotamia. A comparison of texts from these two cultures isolates features which underscore certain cultural discontinuities in response to this phenomenon.

La comparaison de textes de ces deux civilisations souligne de relatives discontinuités dans la réponse à ce phénomène. |
