Description
These XML files are an output of the AHRC-funded research project, "The Geography of Knowledge in Assyria and Babylonia", which ran at the Universities of Cambridge and Pennsylvania, 2007-12, under the direction of Eleanor Robson and Steve Tinney. They contain alphabetic transliterations and translations of some 600 cuneiform texts from the ancient cities of Kalhu (Nimrud), Huzirina (Sultantepe) and Uruk (Warka), along with secondary bibliography. The files are in TEI P5 format and are released under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. This is an end-of-funding spin-off deposit in the first instance. The corpus will continue to be maintained and augmented. The current instantiation, with full searching and glossary functionality, is live at http://oracc.org/cams/gkab/
