Öz I had startcd to prcpare ihis study for inciusion in the Annivcr- sar)' Volüme which was decided for publicalion as a commemoration to my teachcr Profcssor Bcnno Landsberger’s sevcnty fifth annivcrsary by the Oriental Institute of the Universily of Chicago. Unfortunately I havc been unable to complete my article in time; neither have I been able to comply with the kind invitation by Profcssors Jacobsen and Güterbock. The blame is mine. To be able to share in this plcasant cclebration with the same feelings and wishes, even if blatedly and clswherc, and to prescnt to the Turkish public opinion, biriefly, Prof. Landsberger’s efforts and Services, and the meaning of our field in our cultural life, I am now paying this moral and professional obligation in “Anatolia”.
