A collaborative effort to develop a complete corpus of cuneiform whose rich annotation and open licensing support the next generation of scholarly research
@t_herrmi @DrJamesHannam 👋 We and @cdli_news like to think so too! You’ll find that between us way more than than 100,000 cuneiform tablets have been published online (transliterated, translated and lemmatised) in the past quarter-century! & there are other repositories too
We've just added a substantial number of Neo-Babylonian/Achaemenid documents to the BabCity corpus on ORACC - now 200 tablets and growing: https://t.co/J7Rr400hwM @Oracctivity@opencuneiform
@cwjones89@lrsiddall We are in the process of setting up a new secure (https) server at Penn, which should solve these downtime issues — and provide a fantastic new search functionality too. ETA mid-January
Jobs alert! We are looking for a postdoc, a phd student and a research assistant to join me in UKSW in Warsaw researching Mesopotamian religion and sacred spaces. Application deadline 6 Nov for the postdoc and RA, 18 Nov for the phd scholarship.
We are excited to announce that the 68th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale will take place in Leiden from 17 to 20 July 2023! The theme of the conference is 'Inequality in the Ancient Near East'. #RAI68Leiden
@PavlaRosenstein@VarmanYash @cdli_news @Oracctivity For starters, you can teach yourself the basics of Akkadian and cuneiform at https://t.co/l6VkA8tJyg if you like
I'm absolutely THRILLED to announce that
- thanks to the efforts of @may_alaseel and Azra Koçer -

@Scaevola67 @cjcrisostomo@PavlaRosenstein In a rather unlovely format, W.G. Lambert’s authoritative translation of the entire Enuma Elisš is at https://t.co/L6wZY4CH6z You want tablets 6-7 of that
Delighted to announce that thanks to the efforts of @yennits my English translation of the #Sumerian debate with the wonderfully evocative title "Two Women B" is now fully lemmatized, making comparison of the Sumerian & English text easier than ever🧐
