Corpus of Akkadian Shuila Prayers Online

Alan Lenzi, University of the Pacific (Stockton, CA)

This preliminary page catalogs all of the individual compositions or prayers attested on tablets bearing Akkadian shuila prayers. There is a sizeable number of tablets bearing a prayer that is not yet identified.

Clicking on a Q-number in the table below will eventually link to a full treatment of each composition (composite edition, translation, etc). There is much work to be done. For now, the linked page only provides a list of manuscripts attesting the prayer.
