Abstract

The public availability of photographs of the entire British Museum Kuyunjik collection has allowed the identification of many hitherto unplaced fragments. Some of them are particularly relevant for the reconstruction of passages in a number of ancient Mesopotamian literary texts. These are published here for the first time. They include three new fragments of theGilgamešepic, one or two of theTheodicy, several of theDiviner's Manualand of theRituals of the Diviner, several prayers previously only poorly known, and fragments from the seventh tablet of the exorcistic seriesMuššuʾu.
