Lettres d'Amarna (2)

Suite au blog du 23 octobre 2011, M. Charles E. Jones, Head Librarian at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, NYU, a écrit :

It is good to see the Madrid database of Berlin Amarna tablet photographs, online since the 1990s, getting this well deserved attention. It is always worthwhile supporting projects providing open access to scholarly resources.

Scholarly editions of the Amarna texts are published in transliteration in the Amarna Corpus (http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/amarna/corpus ), a component of Oracc: The Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/index.html

Shlomo Izre'el's translations of the Amarna corpus is at http://www.tau.ac.il/humanities/semitic/amarna.html

All of this is open access. Your readers interested more generally in Amarna may also wish to examine Barry Kemp's Virtual Amarna Project, openly published this month by the Archaeology Data Service http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/amarna_leap_2011/

and some archival video footage of 1930s excavations at Amarna published online by the Egypt Exploration Society
