- Double-weighted statement
- This volume is the product of a sustained period of intensive research during a Leverhulme fellowship, which collects, deciphers, translates and analyses some 77 cuneiform tablets, almost none previously deciphered and all of very considerable difficulty. In doing so, it dramatically increases the volume of available exemplars of a little-studied genre of Sumerian and Akkadian texts and brings an entirely new perspective to the study of Mesopotamian incantations. In doing so, it both increases scholarly understanding as well and functions as the provision of a substantial resource for future scholarly enquiry into these texts and their historical contexts.
