Margins of Writing, Origins of Culture: New Approaches to Writing and Reading in the Ancient Near East. Papers from a Symposium held February 25-26, 2005
edited by Seth Sanders
Writing and the state both first began in the ancient Near East. The
origins of history are traced to the place where they met. But what
did they actually have to do with each other? Most of ancient Near

Your Praise is Sweet: A Memorial Volume for Jeremy Black from Students, Colleagues and Friends
edited by Heather D. Baker, Eleanor Robson, and Gábor Zólyomi

The scope of the thirty contributions, from Sumerology to the nineteenth-century rediscovery of Mesopotamia, is testament to Jeremy's own wide-ranging interests and to his ability to forge ...
