The Scribe’s Imprint: Ištar-šumu-ēreš and the Formation of Ashurbanipal’s Library
Cohen, Sophie
Abstrak
This study sheds new light on Ištar-šumu-ēreš, the chief scribe of Ashurbanipal, through an examination of his colophons. A systematic analysis of the Nineveh colophons has provided new insights into Ištar-šumu-ēreš’s work beyond what is known from the royal letters. His tablets, which derive from two different periods of his life, reveal some of his activities in different contexts, including the so-called ‘Ashurbanipal’s Library’. This research therefore helps us to understand how an important but hitherto largely anonymous corpus came into being.
