# The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature: About the project

Jeremy Black, Graham Cunningham, Eleanor Robson et al., 2006.

## What it's used for here

Oxford project pages (1997-2006, founded by Jeremy Black): composite transliterations and translations of about 400 Sumerian literary compositions, roughly 50,000 lines, mostly Old Babylonian copies; the project closed in 2006 and the site is frozen. Used for the size of the edited Sumerian literary corpus; the content is mirrored in ORACC as epsd2/literary.
