QUATRE FRAGMENTS LITURGIQUES SUMERIENS DU MUSEE DE BIRMINGHAM. PREMIÈRE PARTIE

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 February 2024

Abstract

Edition with translation of three Sumerian liturgical fragments kept today in Birmingham City Museum. In themselves they are hardly significant, but once put back into their material context, i.e. joined to fragments kept in other museums, and once compared to their literary parallels, they start to become interpretable. The first fragment may come from Larsa, while the others belong to tablets kept in Berlin, partially published in 1913 by Zimmern in his Vorderasiatische Schriftdenkmäler 2, whose origin is admittedly Sippir. The first fragment is part of a vast liturgy of the goddess Ninisina. The two following fragments are from two different tablets both containing a liturgy of Enlil which can now be almost entirely reconstructed. A further fragment is edited in a following article.

طبعة مع ترجمة لثلاث قطع طقسية سومرية محفوظة اليوم في متحف مدينة برمنغهام . في حد ذاتها هي ليست ذات أهمية ، ولكن بمجرد إعادتها إلى سياقها المادي، أي ربطها بأجزاء محفوظة في متاحف أخرى ، وبمجرد مقارنتها بأقرانها الأدبية، فإنها تبدأ في أن تصبح قابلة للتفسير . قد يكون مصدر القطعة الأولى من لارسا ، بينما تنتمي الأجزاء الأخرى إلى رقم محفوظة في برلين ، نُشرت جزئيًا في عام 1913 من قبل زيمرن Zimmern في كتابه عن الآثار المكتوبة في الشرق الأدنى Vorderasiatische Schriftdenkmäler 2 ، الذي يُعترف بأن مصدرها هو سيبار Sippir. الجزء الأول هو جزء من قداس واسع للإلهة نينيسينا . الجزءان التاليان هن من رقم اثنين مختلفين يحتوي كلاهما على قداس إنليل والذي يمكن الآن إعادة بنائه بالكامل تقريبًا . ثمة جزء آخر سيتم تحريره في مقالة تالية.
