Open Access Journal: Cuneiform Commentaries Project Newsletter
Cuneiform Commentaries Project Newsletter
The origins of the Cuneiform Commentaries Project (CCP) go back to E. Frahm’s 2011
study on Mesopotamian commentaries. Even though it included numerous
quotations of individual commentary entries, Frahm’s study was not aimed
at publishing in full large numbers of commentaries. Its goal was
rather to provide a comprehensive catalog of every known commentary
tablet. The book made it abundantly clear that there was a need for a
comprehensive edition of all known commentary tablets: of the 878 known
tablets and fragments, only 396 were edited, and still only a handful of
those in modern, reliable editions. In contrast 482 commentary tablets
(55% of the total) remain either unedited or entirely unpublished.
Frahm’s monograph thus constitutes the basis for the ultimate goal of
editing all the commentaries, including those that have never been
properly studied before.
