I am creating this thread to help group together academic Near Eastern Studies resource requests so they're easier to find and vote on. For people that want to help, links to resource requests that should be posted here meet the following criteria:

Resources focused on the Near East. That is, they focus chiefly on Israel and the surrounding Levant, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Anatolia, though resources about other areas that are historically, linguistically, culturally, or religiously tied to the Near East, such as Ethiopia, Persia, and early Christian Greece (prior to the Nicene Council, as orthodox Christianity had separated from Judaism by that point, and resources for the development of orthodox Christianity are abundant and easy to find).

Resources that are academic. That is, scholarly resources that are focused on the historical, linguistic, cultural, literary, and religious development of the Near East, as well as primary sources, such as scriptures and commentary from these groups. Scholarly resources are not chiefly proselytizing or polemical in nature, though primary sources from within these groups may be.

Resources that are focused mainly on ancient and medieval times, though also resource requests about minority religious and ethnoreligious groups in the Near East about whom there are not many resources available, such as the Assyrian Christians, the Druze, the Alawites, the Yezidis, the Yarsanis, the Shabaks, the Mandeans, the Baha'is, the Zoroastrians, etc.

Note for mods: I did try to post this already, but I got an error. I checked to see if the post had saved, but didn't find it. If this is a duplicate, please delete the first one.
