Description
By NATALIA KOSLOVA. SANTAG vol. 6. Wiesbaden: HARRASSOWITZ VERLAG, 2000. Pp. 415. DM 104. The handsome volume under review presents transliterations of 385 Ur III texts from Umma that form part of the extensive collection (approximately 1580 Ur III texts) of the Hermitage Museum. Some of this collection has previously been published in MVN 20 and MVN 21 (a history of the collection appears in the introduction to MVN 20). The texts in this volume are arranged in chronological order (from S 21 to IS 2, with an additional 43 texts lacking year names) and are offered in transliteration with partial hand copies of the difficult passages. A volume like this reinforces the great value of the continuing rapid publication of Ur III texts. The 385 texts provide information on a wide range of topics from cultic matters to the administration of the textile industry to the incarceration of prisoners.
