How to Write a Hymn: Material Features in Manuscripts of Akkadian Poetry

Rozzi, Geraldina

Abstrak

This paper investigates the materiality of cuneiform tablets, with a focus on paratexts in manuscripts of Akkadian literary texts, especially hymns and prayers. It explores how paratextual features, such as horizontal rulings, reflect and enhance poetic structures. Particular attention is paid to the corpus of the Great Hymns and Prayers, where couplet divisions could offer insights into their poetic form and textual evolution. By combining material and literary analysis, the study highlights the interplay between paratexts and poetry in Akkadian literature.
