The Correspondence of the Kings of Ur – An Epistolary History of an Ancient Mesopotamian Kingdom: Mesopotamian Civilizations
Autor Piotr Michalowskien Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2011
The edition is accompanied by an extensive analysis of the place of the letters in early second-millennium schooling, treating the letters as literature, followed by chapters that contextualize the epistolary material within historical and historiographic contexts, utilizing many Sumerian archival, literary, and historical sources. The main objective here is to try to navigate the complex issues of authenticity, authority, and fiction that arise from the study of these literary artifacts. In addition, Michalowski offers new hypotheses about many aspects of late third-millennium history, including essays on military history and strategy, on frontiers, on the nature and putative character of nomadism at the time, as well as a long chapter on the role of a people designated as Amorites.
The included DVD includes various photographs at high resolution of most of the tablets included in the study.
