The discussions of Babylonian religion, literature, and scholarship focus on the usefulness and relevance of these modern concepts for categorizing the ancient text. The volume presents the first critical edition of Nan?e and the Birds , as well as editions of the hymn Nan?e B and all third millennium and Old Babylonian lexical lists of birds. It includes 37 plates with photographs and line drawings, including many previously unpublished tablets. The final chapter discusses the identity and orthography of all Sumerian bird names in literary, administrative and lexical texts. 410 0$aCuneiform Monographs ;$v22. 517 3 $aWith a Catalogue of Sumerian Bird Names 606 $aBirds$xNomenclature (Popular)$xSumerian 606 $aSumerian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSumerians$xReligion 615 0$aBirds$xNomenclature (Popular)$xSumerian. 615 0$aSumerian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSumerians$xReligion. 676 $a899/.95 700 $aVeldhuis$b Niek$0638750 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811459703321 996 $aReligion, Literature, and Scholarship: The Sumerian Composition Nan?e and the Birds$93920935 997 $aUNINA
