Personal names provide fascinating testimony to Babylonia's multi-ethnic society. This volume offers a practical introduction to the repertoire of personal names recorded in cuneiform texts from Babylonia in the first millennium BCE. In this period, individuals moved freely as well as involuntarily across the ancient Middle East, leaving traces of their presence in the archives of institutions and private persons in southern Mesopotamia. The multilingual nature of this name material poses challenges for students and researchers who want to access these data as part of their exploration of the social history of the region in the period. This volume offers guidelines and tools that will help readers navigate this difficult material. The title is also available Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Excerpt from Early Babylonian Personal Names From the Published Tablets of the So-Called Hammurabi Dynasty (B. C. 2000) HE material for the name list here published formed the basis of my dissertation Die Personennamen in den Urkunden der Hammurabi published in Munich, summer of 1902. A considerable portion of the two years that have since elapsed has been devoted to a thorough reinvestigation of all the material, and this has resulted in a number of corrections in the readings as well as in the interpretation of some of the names. At the same time the material has been restricted: all names from documents of question able date have been excluded from the list. This enables us to discuss the problems involved with more certainty. Names taken from undated documents which, however, for palaeographical and other reasons, belong to the period of the first dynasty of Babylon, have been used for comparison in the notes referring to the name-elements. Concerning 21 undated, but distinctly datable, texts see Introduction, p. 42. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
