Jursa,Michael. — Das Archiv des Bel-remanni.

Istanbul, Nederlands Historisch-Archaeologisch Instituut, 1999. 297 pp. 68 plts with b./w. ills. Orig. softcover. 4to. - Spine discol. (Uitgaven van het Nederlands Historisch-Archaeologisch Instituut te Istanbul, 86). This book offers a comprehensive treatment and publication of a Neo-Babylonian family archive from Sippar. The commentary covers various topics, including the canonical system of the temple of Ebabbar, various levies and taxes, and agriculture in the region. The archive is particularly interesting because it shows strong evidence of the activities of apprentice scribes and is considered a "school archive," with the "school" likely functioning within the family of the archive owner. It is part of a larger collection of texts, the other part of which is an archive of medical texts studied by Irving Finkel. - Text in German.
