This catalog is based on the work of Werner Mayer (1976; →library) and more recently Christopher Frechette (2012; →library), who included in his catalog many of the pieces Mayer has identified and published in various publications since 1976. It also draws particular data about each tablet from the →CDLI database.
As this project continues, it is hoped that many more witnesses will be added to what is cataloged below. (Please contact me with new information!)
The catalog information, especially references to secondary literature, is preliminary. It will be refined as work continues. The system for numbering the prayers follows Mayer 1976 (→library).
Only the entries with a blue link in the CDLI ID (P-Number) column below have transliterations and translations, which are presented here through the tools and services of the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (→Oracc). The work is on-going.
