It is part of a larger collaborative effort to make available the so-called “satellite archives” of the Ṣāḫiṭ-ginê A archive and related and unrelated smaller archives from Sippar. The results will be published in forthcoming volumes of this journal; archives in preparation include those of Adad-šamê, Mušēzib, Rēˀi-sisê, and Ša-nāšišu A (Y. Levavi), Balīhu, Aqūba, and Šamaš-iddin/Rēmūt (J. Hackl), as well as Šangû-Šamaš and Šangû-Ištar-Bābili (M. Gross).

Their physical and textual characteristics suggest that they were produced in the same ancient context.

These tablets are published here for the first time, together with a discussion of how the information about the year name in AO 8901 fits in what is known about the dating of Old Babylonian mathematics.","PeriodicalId":36366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cuneiform Studies","volume":"72 1","pages":"101 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/709310","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43424755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, Forlanini proposed that the text’s author was not Muršili I but rather Ḫattušili I, who tells about the times of his predecessor Labarna I (ca. 1680(?)–1650 BCE). In the present article it will be argued that both views are difficult to maintain. Instead, six arguments will be presented that rather indicate that the Palace Chronicle may have been authored by Anitta, king of Nēša (reigned ca. 1740–1725 BCE), and that the composition recounts the reign of Anitta’s father Pitḫāna, with some anecdotes even dating back to the times before Pitḫāna’s conquest of the city of Nēša, i.e. before 1750 BCE.","PeriodicalId":36366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cuneiform Studies","volume":"72 1","pages":"143 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/709313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43063061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Critical Review","authors":"P. Attinger","doi":"10.1086/703861","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/703861","url":null,"abstract":"Ce volume très attendu représente „the conclusion of a task that has taken more than half a century“ (p. xii). Après des „acknowledgements“ (p. vii), où sont mentionnés les auteurs des copies (dans l’ordre décroissant: 32 de William W. Hallo et H. T. Vedeler conjointement1, 18 de Ferris J. Stephens, 8 de H. T. Vedeler seul, 5 de Shin T. Kang, 4 de Daniel D. Reisman et une de Nicole Brisch, Mark E. Cohen, Tikvah Frymer-Kensky, William W. Hallo seul et Mark Van De Mieroop), suit une introduction de Benjamin R. Foster (pp. ix–x), qui retrace succinctement l’histoire de l’ouvrage. Entrepris dans les années soixante par Hallo, il n’était pas encore achevé à la mort de celui-ci en 2015. C’est grâce aux efforts de Ulla Kasten et de Mark E. Cohen qu’il a pu être mené à terme et publié. Dans une brève introduction, Hallo évoque lui aussi la genèse du projet et souligne le rôle important qu’y ont joué tant son prédécesseur Stephens que ses collaborateurs. Le catalogue (pp. xiii–xxi) est quelque peu sommaire, et la littérature secondaire parfois assez lacunaire2. Suite à deux concordances (Museum Number — Text Number et réciproquement) (pp. xxiii–xxiv), le lecteur trouvera les autographies de 72 textes (pl. I–CII). Les compositions représentées sont des hymnes, royaux et divins (1–33), des lettres aux dieux (34–38), des lettres littéraires, le plus souvent entre le souverain et ses hauts fonctionnaires (39–51), la Lamentation sur Ur (52–53), Diĝir pa e3-a (54), deux textes non identifiés en emesal (55–56), La Malédiction d’Agadé (57–59), l’Hymne à la houe (60–62), l’Hymne à Keš (63–65) et quelques inscriptions (66–72). Dans leur grande majorité, ces textes étaient déjà connus par des translittérations (le plus souvent de Hallo ou de Delnero [2006]), mais il a des exceptions, les plus importantes étant les nos 11 (Šulgi B)3, 12–13 (Šulgi E) et 49 (SEpM 7, X25). La qualité des copies est assez variable. Seules celles de Stephens semblent “au-dessus de tout soupçon”; en ce qui concerne les autres, il est, en l’absence de photos, le plus souvent difficile de juger de leur qualité. S’il existe des photos (par exemple dans le cas de CKU ou de la Malédiction d’Agadé), les copies ne se révèlent pas toujours très fiables, avant tout dans le rendement des signes partiellement cassés. Dans les pages qui suivent, le lecteur trouvera une brève discussion de la plupart des textes de YOS 22, à savoir d’une part de ceux déjà translittérés ou utilisés dans la reconstruction d’une composition donnée (par ex. par Hallo ou par Delnero [2006]), de l’autre des nouveaux duplicats de compositions connues.","PeriodicalId":36366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cuneiform Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":"191 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/703861","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41461875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
