[310]-334) and indexes. aErrors of many kinds abound in Akkadian writings, but this fact's far-reaching implications have never been unraveled and systematized. To attempt this is the aim of this book. Drawing on scholarship from other fields, it outlines a framework for the critical evaluation of extant text and the formulation of conjectural emendations. Along the way, it explores issues at the interface of orthography, textual transmission, scribal education, grammar, literacy, and literary interpretation.--Cover. aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aAkkadian languagevTexts. 0aAssyro-Babylonian literaturexCriticism, Textual. 0aTransmission of texts. 0aAkkadian languagexWriting. 0aAkkadian philology. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10606399zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view c96743d96743
