News on the Ur Lament

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A review article of the latest edition of the Sumerian composition Lamentation over the Destruction of Ur which provides new knowledge by editing an unpublished manuscript from the British Museum with substantial Akkadian glosses to the Sumerian text. The fragment has been overlooked by all scholars who have been working on the Lament so far. Judging from internal evidence, the text comes from late Old Babylonian or early Middle Babylonian period. Thus, it is the latest known manuscript of the Ur Lament. The content of the piece strongly suggests that it originated at a school. As far as it is preserved, the fragment includes glosses for all the Sumerian lines. No other manuscript out of the nearly one hundred hitherto identified tablets and fragments of the Ur Lament contains a similar number of glosses. The phonetically written glosses elucidate the pronunciation of some temple names, the Akkadian translations confirm the established pronunciation of toponyms as well as known lexical equations for the other words, or provide a new variant and some unexpected renderings. Apart for that, the new manuscript sheds light on the meaning of the kirugu rubric in Sumerian literary texts. It is the only known Old Babylonian tablet with translations in normal size script inscribed between two parts of the Sumerian lines. At the same time, it appears to be the only hitherto attested example of that method of writing down a translation of a piece from the corpus of classical Sumerian literature.
