Chiera Edward. Lists of Personal Names From the Temple School of Nippur: A Syllabary of Personal Names

The University Museum of Pennsylvania, 1916. — 125 p. — (Publications of the Babylonian Section 11.1).The tablets which are published in this volume have been
collected by me out of all the classified and unclassified material
forming part of the collections of the University Museum which
are now available to students.
When I was planning my work, it was my intention to
publish all the tablets in a single volume. It became soon
apparent, however, that the number of texts was too large for a
single book, and that it was necessary to divide it. Fortunately,
there was no uncertainty as to how the work was to be divided,
since the texts themselves naturally fall together into three
distinct groups: ( I ) The Syllabary of Personal Names, which
is here presented and the special characteristics of which are
discussed in Chapter 11. (2) The Lists of Akkadian Personal
Names (Pt. II), to which has been added a long list of Amoritic,
or West-Semitic, names. (3) The Lists of Sumerian Personal
Names (Pt. III), which will also contain in appendix six tablets
from Yokha, partly written in Akkadian.
