The goal of the electronic Babylonian Library (eBL) platform is to advance the publication and reconstruction of cuneiform tablets worldwide. By offering a versatile platform for editing tablets and texts and for annotating editions and photographs, and a suite of tools for epigraphic, lexicographic and historiographic research, it aims to accelerate dramatically the pace at which the written documentation of ancient Mesopotamia is recovered for the modern world.
The eBL platform is based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BAdW), and it is hosted by the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (LRZ). It was initially developed with funding from a Sofja Kovalevskaja Award (Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, 2018–2024). Since 2022, further development has been supported by the Cuneiform Artefacts of Iraq in Context project (CAIC, BAdW, 2022–2046).
