St. Langdon published Tablets from the Archives of Dréhem (Paris, Geuthner, 1912); L. Delaporte, Tablettes de Dréhem in Revue d’Assyriologie , 1911, pp. 183-98; P. Dhorme, Tablettes de Dréhem à Jérusalem in same journal, pp. 39-63; H. de Genouillac, Tablettes de Dréhem, publiées avec inventaire et tables. Musée du Louvre (Paris, Geuthner, 1911), and La trouvaille de Dréhem, Étude avec un choix de textes de Constantinople et Bruxelles (Paris, Geuthner, 1911); see also Some Sumerian Contracts, by St. Langdon, in the Zeitschrift für Assyriologie, 1911, pp. 205-14. A useful summary is Some Published Texts from Dréhem, by I. M. Price, in the American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures, 1912, pp. 211-15.
Sumerian Administrative Documents from the Second Dynasty of Ur, from the Temple Archives of Nippur, vol. iii, part i of Series A, Cuneiform Texts, in Publications of the Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, 1910), deals with closely related texts.
E. Huber wrote Die altbabylonischen Darlehenstexte aus der Nippur-Sammlung im K. O. Museum in Konstantinopel as a contribution to the Hilprecht Anniversary Volume, pp. 189-222. V. Scheil in his Notes d’épigraphie made some entries about those Nippur texts which reached Constantinople, see p. [78].
An allied text was given by P. Dhorme in the Journal Asiatique, 1912, pp. 158-9, as Un brouillon d’inventaire.
The whole subject of these Temple Records is being studied by H. Torczyner, who has started with Vorläufige Bemerkungen to Altbabylonische Tempelrechnungen, umschrieben und erklärt in the Anzeiger der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien, 1910, pp. 136-40.
On the general scope and purpose of the Temple Records, see the article on Babylonian Book-keeping, by A. T. Clay, in the American Journal of Archaeology, 1910, pp. 74 ff.
The very ancient texts from Telloh, usually called Pre-Sargonic, have been issued, beside Thureau-Dangin’s Recueil de Tablettes chaldéennes, by Allotte de la Fuÿe as Documents présargoniques (Paris, E. Leroux, 1908, 1909). Sumerian Tablets in the Harvard Semitic Museum was begun, by Mary Ida Hussey, with part 1 in 1912. Two Tablets of the Period of Lugalanda were published by St. Langdon in Babyloniaca, 1911, pp. 246-7. Much the most useful publication, however, is Tablettes sumériennes archaïques, by H. de Genouillac (Paris, Geuthner, 1909), which gives not only texts, but transcriptions and such translation as is possible, and also an admirable account of all they imply, as to law and custom. A considerable amount of this is strikingly like the later laws. In The Amherst Tablets (London, Quaritch, 1908), T. G. Pinches published a few more. The bulk of them still await publication.
Ancient Bullae and Seals of Shirpurla by N. P. Likhatscheff, published in the Imperial Russian Archaeological Society’s Classical Section IV, pp. 225-63, 1907, written in Russian, gives a number of similar tablets. Oriental Antiquities, by M. V. Nikolsky, in the Oriental Commission of the Imperial Moscow Archaeological Society, iii, Series 2, 1908, has over 300 such texts. These appear to belong to the same period.
Some valuable discussions will be found in État des décès survenus dans le personnel de la déesse Bau sous le règne d’Urukagina, by Allotte de la Fuÿe, in the Revue d’Assyriologie, 1910, pp. 139-46.
