Description
This book collects articles written by Farouk Al-Rawi and collaborators and published in the journal IRAQ between 1985 and 2006\. The articles present first editions of a variety of cuneiform texts: mythological narrative poems, royal inscriptions, astrological omens and wisdom literature. They represent some of Farouk's major achievements: his work on the Old Babylonian tablets excavated at Tell Haddad (ancient Meturan) in the 1970s, his decipherment of tablets excavated in the 1980s at Sippar, and his continuation of this vital work in the last three decades through the study and publication of many important cuneiform tablets in Manchester, London and Suleimaniyah.
