Description

In 1914, William M. Nesbit published his dissertation at Columbia University on 30 archival texts from the Third Dynasty of Ur. Now, more than a century later, the remainder tablets in his collection have been recovered and, way to the generosity of the Nesbit circle of relatives, were made to be had for publication by David I. Owen. Nearly all of texts published here is from Puzriš-Dagan (Drehem) with some from Nippur and Umma. They originate from the earliest clandestine finds at the ones sites. The 98 texts, including a re-edition of the up to now published tablets, are provided with a catalogue, hand-copies, selected photographs, at the side of transliterations, translations and comments, thus providing crucial addition to the extensive corpus of Ur III texts from this vital period in Mesopotamian history.
