Publisher's Synopsis
This catalogue publishes copies of 139 previously unpublished neo-Sumerian economic texts from Drehem which were formerly in the collections of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. All the necessary critical apparatus for study of the texts is provided, including the history of the collection, content and type of texts, indexes and concordance, notes and plates, but not transliterations and translations. Future volumes will cover UR III texts from Umma, Old Akkadian, Old Babylonian, and Neo-Babylonian/Persian period tablets.
