Document Details : Title: The matter of Aratta Subtitle: An Overview Author(s): VANSTIPTHOUT, H.L.J. Journal: Orientalia Lovaniensia Periodica Volume: 26 Date: 1995 Pages: 5-20 DOI: 10.2143/OLP.26.0.583519 Abstract : One of the characteristic features of the classical Sumerian literary system, which may be taken roughly to coincide with the Ur III and Old Babylonian periods, is that it shows a number of rather well-defined clusters of compositions dealing with related or identical subject matter, and treating these matters in a typologically or generically comparable way. One of these clusters may be called the Matter of Aratta. |
