Yale-NELC Cuneiform Commentaries Project received award from the National Endowment for the Humanities
In the summer of 2015 the Yale’s Cuneiform Commentaries Project (CCP) directed by Professor Eckart Frahm was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to prepare the online publication of an edition and translation of 878 extant Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets, together with a print translation of selected commentaries on scientific texts.
Professor Frahm launched this project with the purpose of making a cohesive corpus of Mesopotamian commentaries available online for the scholarly community and the general audience. To achieve this goal the CCP provides background information on the genre, a searchable catalog, as well as photos, drawings, annotated editions, and translations of individual commentary tablets.
