Description: Cuneiform Texts from the Folios of W. G. Lambert, Part One by A.R. George, Junko Taniguchi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A collection of drawings of 330 cuneiform tablet, found in the academic papers of W. G. Lambert, one of the foremost Assyriologists of the twentieth century. Texts range from historical inscriptions to literary and scholarly texts, written by Babylonian and Assyrian scribes. Publisher Description W. G. Lamberts line drawings of cuneiform tablets from the British Museum, together with his meticulous editions of their contents, form a contribution to Assyriology unrivaled in his generation. Upon his death in 2011, Lambert bequeathed his academic legacy to A. R. George, who discovered among its contents approximately 1,400 unpublished pencil drawings. He and Junko Taniguchi took over the task of converting the drawings into images suitable for publication. The first of two planned volumes, this book features drawings of 329 cuneiform tablets found in Lamberts academic papers. Written by Babylonian and Assyrian scribes between 2500 and 35 BC, the texts in this volume are organized by genre and provided with a descriptive catalogue and indexes. The contents include commemorative and votive inscriptions, late copies of royal inscriptions and royal correspondence, historical and historical-literary texts, Sumerian literature, Akkadian-language compositions of mythological and "epic" content, Babylonian and Assyrian hymns, prayers and praise poetry, incantations, wisdom literature, and fragments of unidentified literary works. The mass of unpublished cuneiform tablets in museums remains a largely unexplored resource with enormous capacity to illuminate all aspects of life in ancient Mesopotamia. This collection constitutes an important milestone on the road to a fuller comprehension of the written legacy of the ancient Babylonians. Author Biography A. R. George is Professor of Babylonian at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.Junko Taniguchi is an independent Assyriologist based in London.
