Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course will deal with a selection of Sumerian votive inscriptions from various periods. Grammatical, paleographical and thematic issues will be discussed.
The course's aim is to improve the students' knowledge of Sumerian grammar and paleography, to improve their ability to transliterate Sumerian texts and translate them into a modern language, to enlarge their Sumerian vocabulary and to acquaint them with the most important research tools for working with Sumerian texts.

Assessment and permitted materials

The texts will be read in class; students are required to prepare for this and to be ready to partecipate actively in the discussions held in class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

the evaluation will depend on the indivual preparation of the texts (transliteration, translation, grammatical analysis)and on the degree and quality of the individual participation in class discussions. Three lessons may be missed; appearing unprepared in class counts as a missed lesson.
