Thread Orientation: This thread is concerned with the very small corpus of Sargonic incantations. Cunningham catalogue's just four Sargonic incantations, two Sumerian, two Akkadian. Although such a small sampling of incantations is not enough to draw conclusions from, its suggested that they evidence a decline in the role of Enlil and an increase in the role of Enki within the incantations. Because its such a small corpus Ive added the catalogue and obtained incantations to one thread for this period.
Key and explanation:
TEXT # = Numbers according to G. Cunningham 1997, "Deliver Me From Evil: Mesopotamian Incantations 2500-1500 B.C."
[1] - PPub = Primary Publication reference, author/year, accompanied by explanation of the relevant abbreviations from the B48-Blue.pdf (AfO)
[2] - MUS # = Museum Number (tablet number) accompanied with Cdli reference number where available (http://cdli.ucla.edu/)
To access the 'search cdlicore' feature you need the Opera, safari or netscape web browsers, cdli also adds a zero to museum numbers example Ni 2177 becomes Ni 02177
[3] - Alternate edition/s = Recent treatments of the given Incantation text. If the tablet has not been re-examined, this will likely be identical with Primary Publication or "N/A." IMPORTANT - as many of these alternate publications have yet to be obtained, it will be difficult to say with authority whether an english/german/french translation included in these.
[4] - Enenuru = Where a given incantation may be found on this board, who posted it, and alternatively who might have the incantation at their disposal if it has not been posted/brief notes about incantation/tablet.
