Third-Millennium Legal and Administrative Texts in the Iraq Museum, Baghdad

by Piotr Steinkeller, Mat Haf Al- IR Aq I

This volume presents the legal and administrative texts in the Iraq Museum at Baghdad that date to the Fara, Pre-Sargonic, and Sargonic periods, and that stem from illicit excavations. Sixty-eight of the seventy-four texts presented are published for the first time. Steinkeller’s introduction precedes the transliteration and translation of the texts, and the volume concludes with Postgate’s copies of all the texts.
