This book contains 44 texts of varying contents: royal inscriptions, legal, and economic documents. For pedagogical reasons literary texts are not included.

Some of the texts are accompanied by a transliteration and/or version in Neo-Assyrian so that the students can learn the Neo-Assyrian forms which are of basic importance for the use of the sign list book and for most assyriological sign lists.

This study analyses five aspects of the approximately 450 published Mesopotamian Incantations dating to the period from 2500 to 1500 BC: the incantations' development during this perios; their functions and particular type of suffering, illness; the verbal techniques they use to request or represent helpful divine intervention towards those ends; their accompanying ritual; the information they provide about the ultimate cause of such suffering, that is harmful divine intervention.

The work ends by summarising this analysis and arguing that it fails to support the conventional classification of the incantations as magical rather than religious.

The Sumerian and Akkadian Personal Names of the third Millennium show that the notion of a "personal god", or "personal gods" exist from the earliest periods of Mesopotamian history.

Although allusions figure more prominently in the Akkadian onomasticon than in the Sumerian, the idea is already well-rooted in both traditions at a very early date and presumably antedates extant written sources.

Un Docteur en Chirurgie Dentaire, pratiquant à l’heure actuelle cet art, mais aussi longuement formé à la philologie égyptienne et aux disciplines égyptologiques, a voulu dépasser la simple reprise de l’histoire de la dentisterie antique et des souffrances dentaires que pouvaient éprouver les pharaons et leurs sujets.

Le développement sur la spécialité dentaire, littéralement attestée à l’Ancien Empire, entraîne l’auteur à reconsidérer la structure et la hiérarchie du corps médical égyptien. Ce mémoire prend place dans le renouvellement présent de l’historie de la médicine et des conceptions biologiques, un retour aux contextes intellectuel, techniques, social de chaque époque considérée en collant aux données de la philologie et de l’archéologie.

This volume is a critical edition of 426 Neo-Assyrian legal documents from the Kouyunjik Collection of the British Museum.

It includes those texts which have been identified as belonging to an individual (archive-holder) and thus forming a dossier or archive. 406 tablets are ascribed in this edition to 192 names.

The majority of documents edited in this book are conveyance texts and may be divided into two categories: the sale of immovable and the sale of movable property. The sale of movable property is almost exclusively represented in this edition by the sale of persons. The majority of contracts are loan documents, while juridical documents - usually court decisions - are quite rare among the Kouyunjik texts.

This volume contains the transliterations, translations, and commentary on 50 tablets that are datable to the latter half of the third millennium.

They come from the excavations which the British Museum and the University Museum of Philadelphia undertook during the season of 1929-30. Our transliterations are based on the photographs of the tablets, the most significant of which are published in an appendix to this volume.

Despite the general growth of interest in Pre-Sargonic and Sargonic texts among Assyriologists during the last decade or so, no group of pre-Ur III documents has been more neglected than these texts.

The chief purpose of this book is to disseminate as widely as possible this material. The commentary attempts to compensate for the small number of texts.

All the works studied in this volume have been published before, with the exception of a few new fragmentary texts in the revised appendices 5.3 and 5.4.

The present detailed investigation takes it as excuse that while these works are often caled as witnesses in support of various philological arguments, no unified attempt to evaluate them in their context as the products of an ancient scholarly discipline has so far appeared.

The Author tries to show that current analyses of the Sumerian forms into tenses or ‘aspects’ are based on a misunderstanding of the way the Babylonians set some of their tenses (or aspects or whatever they are) against Sumerian forms in these grammatical texts.

Then the Author describes the various ways in which the choice of forms may operate in Sumerian, and finally makes a suggestion as to how these might have developed.
