Hanan Abd Alhamza Alessawe: From the Early Years of the Royal Treasure Archive of Esa¿dana-Nibru, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In From the Early Years of the Royal Treasure Archive of Esädana-Nibru , Hanan Abd Alhamza Alessawe publishes 33 new administrative documents from the Treasure Archive of Esädana-Nibru, modern-day Drehem, dated to the time of King Shulgi. The tablets are part of a collection that arrived at the Iraq Museum in 2021. The new texts significantly expand our knowledge concerning workshops, material culture, gift-giving practices, and individuals at the royal court of the Third Dynasty of Ur. The editions offer a transliteration with English and Arabic translations and a concise commentary. This volume marks the launch of the publication series of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities project Cuneiform Artefacts of Iraq in Context (CAIC), which is dedicated to the edition of cuneiform artefacts preserved at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad.
