Description
Neo-Sumerian Texts from Ur in the British Museum: Epigraphical and Archaeological Catalogue of an Unpublished Corpus of Texts and Fragments. By FRANCO D'AGOSTINO, FRANCESCO POMPONIO, AND ROMINA LAURITO. Nisaba, vol. 5. Messina: DI.SC.A.M., 2004. Pp. 221, illus. [euro]40 (paper). In 2002, Franco D'Agostino and Francesco Pomponio published the first volume in the University of Messina series Nisaba. Within only a few years, this series has produced a number of excellent editions of cuneiform tablets kept in the British Museum. (1) In this volume--the fifth in the series--D'Agostino and Pomponio, together with archaeologist Romina Laurito, have focused on the Neo-Sumerian texts from the city of Ur in the British Museum. Their useful and important catalogue adds 945 texts to our list of published tablets from the city of Ur, bringing the total number of Neo-Sumerian tablets from this city to 4,207. (2) The volume is divided into three parts, all of which are subdivided into more specific chapters.
