Description
Authors

More than three hundred previously unpublished texts from the Yale Babylonian Collection

Yuval Levavi and Elizabeth E. Payne present 315 previously unpublished texts held in the Yale Babylonian Collection at the Yale Peabody Museum. The texts shed light on textile and metal workers in the Eanna temple in Uruk during the Neo-Babylonian Period, about 626 to 539 BCE. This volume of the Yale Oriental Series features a full edition of each text, including hand copies, transliterations, translations, and essential commentary, allowing unprecedented access to these primary sources.

Yuval Levavi received his PhD from the University of Vienna in 2016 and works at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Elizabeth E. Payne was a conservator in the Yale Babylonian Collection and now works at the Ashe County Public Library.
