Sumerian Cultic Songs from Old Babylonian Nippur with a Connection to the Temple Hymns
Several fragmentary Sumerian cultic songs from Old Babylonian Nippur, including one that seems to be for Ninurta ("Ninurta H"), contain enumerations of major cultic centers in southern Mesopotamia that are unmistakably reminiscent of the Sumerian Temple Hymns, as well as two hymns to King Shulgi. The following communication considers the potential parameters of intertexuality that may be involved with these texts. Such proximity to the corpus of …
A Fragmentary Explanatory God List from Old Babylonian Nippur with a Thematic Connection to Lugale and An
This article provides an edition of the previously unpublished Old Babylonian tablet fragment that may be part of an explanatory god list. With all due caution, it is possible to suggest that it provides a rare example of a god list with extended commentary from the Old Babylonian period with each preserved entry seemingly eliciting an explanation. The format is unique in that it occurs as running text without columned entry or any other topical …
The Sexual Union of Enlil and Ninlil
This article offers an edition of the newly reconstructed collective tablet N 1045+, which preserves portions of a zamzam song of Enlil and an uadi song of Ninlil. The latter composition describes a sexual encounter between Enlil and Ninlil. I would like to thank the curators of the Babylonian Section in Philadelphia, Grant Frame and Steve Tinney, for permission to publish the manuscript and Joshua Jeffers for taking excellent photographs
The Divine Appointment of the First Antediluvian King
A newly reconstructed manuscript of the Sumerian Flood Story from Old Babylonian Ur furnishes us with further content of the composition, most notably the divine appointment of the first king, Alulim of Eridu. It appears that this text contained an etiology for the pervasive royal image of the king as shepherd of the people
UET 6/1, 74, the Hymnic Introduction of a Sumerian Letter-Prayer to Ninšubur
The close examination of a large previously unedited literary fragment from Old Babylonian Ur reveals that it is a letter-prayer or Gottesbrief to Ninšubur
An Adab Composition of Nergal/Meslamtaea at Lagaš and Ĝirsu for Šulgi
A newly reconstructed adab cultic song of the god Nergal/Meslamtaea from Old Babylonian Nippur in the University Museum in Philadelphia is highly comparable in content to a tigi cultic song of Nergal housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris. As such, it constitutes a rare example of the same approximate text being presented as two different types of cultic songs. It describes Enlil's furnishing of the power of fate determination to Nergal, the goddess …
The Personal Name Lists in the Scribal Curriculum of Old Babylonian Nippur
A New Old Babylonian Sumerian Literary “Catalog”
Two New Sumerian Texts Involving The Netherworld and Funerary Offerings
In this article, an unpublished and unplaced Sumerian literary fragment that appears to describe the witnessing of various deities involved with the netherworld and an unpublished distribution text provisioning, among other things, the use of ghee in conjunction with the funerary offerings of the g u 2 - e n - n a official at Old Babylonian Nippur, are treated
An Old Babylonian Incantation Collective with Incantations Involving a Counter-Measure Against Oath-Breaking and the Alteration of a Dream of the King
A previously unpublished fragmentary Old Babylonian incantation collective that is housed in the University Museum in Philadelphia furnishes a duplicate to VAS 17: 28, a royal ritual text that is devoted to changing an ill-portending dream into a good one
An Early ša3-zi-ga Prescription from Nippur
A new fragmentary text from Nippur which clearly antedates the known corpus of ša3-zi-ga rituals may demonstrate the greater antiquity of the thus-named potency ritual in ancient Mesopotamia
A New Occurrence of the Seven Aurae in a Sumerian Literary Passage Featuring Nergal
A brief and fragmentary newly reconstructed Sumerian literary passage contains a portion of a hymn to Nergal or a hymnic passage centered around Nergal. Most notably, it contains a rare reference to seven aurae (ni2 imin), which is attested elsewhere only in conjunction with Huwawa
