Early Dynastic Cuneiform

This block continues the Cuneiform symbols. It includes symbols related to the early Dynastic period in Mesopotamia, 2900-2335 BC. The samples of this writing were found in the south of Iraq. The manuscripts represented administrative, accounting, legal and literary texts.

The main document was a dictionary written by a German sumerologist, whose name was Anton Deimel. The book was written in Latin, called ‘Textus cuneiformes in usum scholae‘, and published in 1922.
