Document Details : Title: Duplication in Early Akkadian Literature Subtitle: The Duplicates of the Papulegara Hymns, Ištar Louvre, and the Dialogue between Father and Son Author(s): STRECK, Michael P. , WASSERMAN, Nathan Journal: Orientalia Volume: 92 Issue: 2 Date: 2023 Pages: 202-229 DOI: 10.2143/ORI.92.2.3292617 Abstract : In this study, we present newly discovered duplicates of three significant Old Babylonian literary texts. 1) An unpublished Louvre duplicate (AO 6161) of the Papulegara hymns collection, which is currently housed at the British Museum. 2) A recently published Geneva duplicate (MAH 16069) of the large hymnic ritual commonly referred to as Ištar-Louvre. 3) The Yale prism (YBC 2394), which contains an almost complete version of the Dialogue Between Father and Son. Previously, only a small fragment of this text was known. The paper provides a philological commentary and a thorough discussion of these duplicates, considering the relatively uncommon phenomenon of duplicate literary texts during the Old Babylonian period. |
