To attempt this is the aim of this book. Drawing on scholarship from other fields, it outlines a framework for the critical evaluation of extant text and the formulation of conjectural emendations. Along the way, it explores issues at the interface of orthography, textual transmission, scribal education, grammar, literacy, and literary interpretation.--Cover.Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Records (SANER)Akkadian languageTextsAssyro-Babylonian literatureCriticism, TextualTransmission of textsAkkadian languageWritingAkkadian philologyAkkadian.Orthography.Akkadian languageAssyro-Babylonian literatureCriticism, Textual.Transmission of texts.Akkadian languageWriting.Akkadian philology.892/.1Worthington Martin710713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786343203321Principles of Akkadian textual criticism3766504UNINA
