Transliteration and translation on opposite pages (p. 16-71) "This lamentation, consisting of eleven songs and 436 lines ... composed and inscribed some time during the Isin-Larsa-Babylon I period ... is practically complete ... Moreover ... the translation as a whole is reasonably certain and relatively free from obscurities."-- Pref. "With the exception of one tablet whose provenance is uncertain, all the tablets used ... belong to the so-called Nippur 'literary' material ... now located in the University [of Pennsylvania] museum at Philadelphia and in the Museum of the Ancient Orient at Istanbul." -- Introd. |
