Description

The cuneiform script, the writing system of ancient Mesopotamia, used to be witness to one of the vital world’s oldest literate cultures. For over three millennia, it used to be the vehicle of communication from (at its greatest extent) Iran to the Mediterranean, Anatolia to Egypt. The Oxford Handbook of Cuneiform Culture examines the Ancient Middle East in the course of the lens of cuneiform writing. The contributors, a mixture of scholars from around the disciplines, explore, define, and to a point look beyond the bounds of the written word, the usage of Mesopotamia’s clay tablets and stone inscriptions not just as ‘texts’ but additionally as material artefacts that offer much additional details about their creators, readers, users and owners.
