Royal Inscriptions from Tulul al-Baqarat (Mesopotamia 51).pdf

The article offers the publication of the third millennium royal inscriptions discovered at Tūlūl al-Baqarat by the Italian mission of the Centro Scavi e Ricerche Archeologiche di Torino during the 2015-2016 campaign. The inscriptions bear names of three Ur III kings – Ur-Namma, Šulgi and Šu-Suen – and perhaps stretch back to the Old Akkadian period. One inscription mentioning Šulgi’s construction of the temple of Nin-ḫur-saĝ is the most relevant evidence for identifying the site with the ancient Keš.

Neo-Assyrian Scribal Practices: The Editorial History of Ashurbanipal’s Prism F Inscription

Zeitschrift für Assyriology, 2018

Ashurbanipal’s Prism F inscription contains numerous variant traditions among its individual exemplars. In an article published in 1977, M. Cogan classified the more significant variants as independent recensions of the inscription. However, a reexamination of his seven recensional classes shows that there is in fact only one major recension of this inscription besides the main version of the text, with a few exemplars preserving two additional variant traditions in one episode. Furthermore, with respect to Prism F’s compositional history, an examination of this major recension suggests that it may have been the first version of the Prism F inscription that was then edited to become the main version of the text.
