概要
- 論文の詳細を見る
The “Tokyo lexical tablet” here published for the first time belongs to the Institute of Oriental Culture at the University of Tokyo. This tablet was originally purchased by Prof. Ikuo Hirayama, a leading painter of scenes from the “Silk Road”, and later given to Prof. Shinji Fukai, the University of Tokyo, who has subsequently donated it to the Institute of Oriental Culture.Although the tablet bears some resemblance to tablets B and D of the Ká-gal=abullu series, the choice of lexical items, their arrangement and Akkadian translation are totally new. There are a number of morphological and phonological pecularities in the Akkadian columns, and new lexical items in the Sumerian columns.According to Prof. Miguel Civil, the tablet has two duplicates, one in the Babylonian Collection at Yale University, another one in the British Museum. These tablets were called the SAG-tablet, Recension B, and will be published in the Materials for the Sumerian Lexicon, Supplementary Series I.Columns IV and V of the Tokyo lexical tablet were, perhaps intentionally, chipped away, and lines 147-232 are totally missing.The provenance of this tablet is unknown, but Prof. M. Civil suggested Emar (Meskene) as a possible candidate.Finally, we would like to express our deep gratitude to Prof. Fukai for his permission to publish the tablet and his continued cooperation in this effort. And also our hearty thanks to Prof. Civil for his invaluable suggestions and advice.
