Cuneiform script on tablets of clay is, as far as we know, the oldest form of writing in the world. The choice of clay as writing medium in ancient Mesopotamia meant that records of all kinds could survive down to modern times, preserving fascinating documents from ancient civilization, written by a variety of people and societies. From reading these tablets we can understand not only the history and economics of the time but also the beliefs, ideas and superstitions. This new book will bring the world in which the cuneiform was written to life for the non-expert reader, revealing how ancient inscriptions can lead to a new way of thinking about the past. It will explain how this pre-alphabetic writing really worked and how it was possible to use cuneiform signs to record so many different languages so long ago. Richly illustrated with a wealth of fresh examples ranging from elementary school exercises to revealing private letters or beautifully calligraphic literature for the royal library, we will meet people that arent so very different from ourselves. We will read the work of many scribes from mundane record keepers to state fortune tellers, using tricks from puns to cryptography. For the first time cuneiform tablets and their messages are not remote and inaccessible, but wonderfully human documents that resonate today.

Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History discusses how the abundant Mesopotamian cuneiform text sources can be used for the study of various aspects of history: political, social, economic and gender. Marc Van De Mieroop provides a student-friendly introduction to the subject and: * criticises disciplinary methodologies which are often informed by a desire to write a history of events * scrutinises the intellectual background of historical writings * examines how Mesopotamia's position as the 'other' in Classical and Biblical writings has influenced scholarship * illustrates approaches with examples taken from the entirety of Mesopotamian history.

In "The Archaeology of the Cuneiform Inscriptions," A. H. Sayce offers a meticulous examination of one of the most significant artifacts of ancient Near Eastern civilization'Äîthe cuneiform writings etched on clay tablets. Sayce blends rigorous archaeological analysis with philological insights, situating the inscriptions within their historical and cultural milieu. By exploring the evolution of the script and its various uses for governance, commerce, and daily life, he provides a comprehensive understanding of how these inscriptions illuminate the complexities of ancient societies. Sayce's eloquent yet scholarly prose invites readers into the intricate tapestry of human thought and expression from millennia past. Sayce, a prominent Assyriologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought with him a wealth of linguistic expertise and a passion for uncovering the ancient histories hidden beneath layers of soil. His academic journey was influenced by a background steeped in classical studies and a keen interest in the civilizations of the Near East, which fueled his dedication to deciphering and interpreting cuneiform texts. This scholarly pursuit not only advanced the field of Assyriology but also fostered a greater appreciation for the cultural heritage of these ancient peoples. "The Archaeology of the Cuneiform Inscriptions" is an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history, linguistics, or archaeology. Sayce's insightful analysis and thorough research provide a deep understanding of the intricacies of cuneiform writings and their profound impact on our comprehension of human civilization. This book is a vital resource for both scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a gateway into the rich tapestry of ancient narratives and the enduring legacy of cuneiform scholars.

In recent years cuneiform studies have witnessed a growing interest in issues variously related to the broadly defined field of palaeography. This led to the development of new methodologies and technologies as well as to the establishment of several projects devoted to the palaeographic analysis of cuneiform corpora from Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia and New Kingdom Egypt, spanning from the 3rd to the 1st millennium BC. This volume collects papers from scholars who had been working on topics such as writing space, wedge order, quantitative analysis, text reconstruction, sign identification and palaeographic dating, providing an updated overview on the present state of the art.

This long-anticipated work is the fi nal volume of the CTMMA series and completes the publication of all the cuneiform-inscribed tablets and inscriptions (excluding those on sculptures, reliefs, and seals) in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Professors Ira Spar (Professor of Ancient Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey and Research Assyriologist at The Metropolitan Museum of Art) and Michael Jursa (University Professor of Assyriology, University of Vienna) were assisted by a team of distinguished scholars and conservators who provided valuable insights into the preparation of scholarly editions of the texts, seal impressions, and technical analysis published in this volume. Ira Spar hand copied and made facsimile drawings of the Museum’s texts with the assistance of Charles H. Wood. Jo Ann Wood-Brown and Charles H. Wood prepared drawings of seal impressions and divine symbols.
