Dear subscribers,
Several new texts have recently been added to the corpus of the Cuneiform Commentaries Project (http://ccp.yale.edu). Please find a list below.
We would like to renew our invitation for Assyriologists around the world to contribute their editions of commentary tablets, for which they will receive full credit.
Best wishes,
Mary Frazer
Senior Editor of the Cuneiform Commentaries Project
⁂
CCP 1.4 (Theodicy): The Theodicy is one of the most sophisticated literary texts in the long history of Mesopotamian belles lettres. Written as an acrostic in a very rigid metric structure, the conciseness of the poetic diction of the poem, combined with its taste for obscure words and abstruse metaphors, meant that its understanding posed a challenge for generations of scribes.

CCP 3.1.5.B (Enūma Anu Enlil 5 (?) B): The tablet Rm 2, 302 is a fragment of a portrait-oriented tablet in Babylonian script, published as source m of EAE 5 (Tablet 5 of Enūma Anu Enlil),1 is re-edited here because it seems to include at least three commentarial explanations (ll. 38′-39′ and 42′). (Read more)
CCP 3.1.5.F (Enūma Anu Enlil 5 (?) F): This small fragment in Neo-Assyrian script, edited by L. Verderame as source c of EAE 5, preserves the beginnings of several omens derived from the appearance of the moon’s horns, as well as the beginnings of a few commentarial explanations. The explanations are indented, which is the typical format of mukallimtu-commentaries from Nineveh. (Read more)
CCP 3.1.55.B (Enūma Anu Enlil 55 B): Large fragment in Neo-Assyrian script containing all or parts of the first twenty seven lines of a commentary on EAE 55 (according to the Nineveh numbering system) on its obverse, and parts of the commentary’s last seven lines on its reverse. The tablet consists of three fragments (K.2314 + K.6519 + K.15255), joined by E. Reiner and W. G. Lambert. The commentary is followed by a two-line rubric and the remains of an Ashurbanipal colophon (possibly ‘Typ i-k’ = BAK no. 323). (Read more)
CCP 4.2.Q (Therapeutic (šumma amēlu qāt eṭemmi iṣbassū-ma), bulṭu bīt Dābibi Q): A one-column tablet containing a commentary on If the hand of a ghost has seized a man, part of the poorly known therapeutic series Cures from the House of Dābibī. Unlike other commentaries on Cures from the House of Dābibi (CCP 4.2.B, CCP 4.2.G and CCP 4.2.P), the scribe of this manuscript does not identify the base text by means of a particular (pirsu) or tablet number of the larger series.

Abstract
In 2011, the European Research Council awarded Dr Hugh Houghton a Starting Grant to lead a five-year project investigating the earliest commentaries on Paul as sources for the biblical text.1 This project, known by its acronym COMPAUL, was intended to build on Dr Houghton’s doctoral work analysing Augustine’s gospel citations.2 The aim was to instigate a better understanding of commentaries and their contribution to the transmission of the New Testament in anticipation of two major editing projects: the Vetus Latina edition of the four principal letters of Paul and the Novum Testamentum Graecum Editio Critica Maior of all Pauline Epistles being planned by the IGNTP.

Mertens-Pack 3 Online

[First posted in AWOL 20 June 2010, updated 28 June 2017]

Mertens-Pack 3

The new MP³ database is now available online. We are still working to improve its presentation and performance.
Some new research parameters are still being validated. For the time being, research is limited to the numbers MP³ 1 to 3026.83, already available on the previous database.
As announced during the International Congresses of Papyrology in Geneva (1) and Warsaw (2), it will be soon possible to research new categories of Greek and Latin papyri (magical, Herculaneum, documentary, Jewish and Christian) and to use more diversified research strategies (papyri which are both “literary” and “documentary” or “magical” or “Jewish and Christian”; literary reminiscences in documentary papyri; literary papyri containing a documentary text on the other side; literary papyri associated to an ancient owner; author’s name and title written on the papyrus).
We thank all users for their understanding and patience. For more information or in case of problems, please contact the CEDOPAL on the following email address: cedopal@ulg.ac.be.

Internetplattform für die Wissenschaft von den hieratischen Handschriften des Alten Ägypten
 http://www.hieratistik.uni-mainz.de/Illustrationen/w_WillkommenHieratisch.gif
"Hieratistik" bezeichnet die Wissenschaft von der so genannten hieratischen Schrift der Alten Ägypter.
Erforscht werden die Funktionen und Besonderheiten dieser eigentlichen und alltäglichen Schrift der Alten Ägypter.
Wichtiges Hilfsmittel sind Paläographien, die auf möglichst umfassenden Zusammenstellungen einzelner Schriftzeichen basieren, aus deren Vergleich und Analyse Schreiberindividuen, Schulen, Entwicklungslinien und ggf. auch Datierungen von Schriftquellen abgeleitet werden können.
