Incubation as a Type-Scene in the Aqhatu, Kirta, and Hannah Stories - A Form-Critical and Narratological Study of Ktu 1.14 I-1.15 III, 1.17 I-II, and 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11

This book proposes to read the birth stories of Aqhatu, Kirta and Samuel from the perspective of incubation type-scene. Drawing on Nagler 's definition of a type-scene, it employs the idea of family resemblance as a principle of identification of type-scenes.
