# The Sumerian Zame Hymns from Tell Abū Ṣalābīḫ, with an appendix on the Early Dynastic colophons

## What it's used for here

Dubsar 12, Zaphon, Münster, 278 pages, ISBN 9783963270345. New edition of the 70 Early Dynastic IIIa Zame hymns (2 to 12 lines each) from Abu Salabikh, after Biggs's 1974 first edition; the authors call their translation not definitive because the orthography leaves out grammatical morphemes and does not keep sign order. Used for the state of reading Early Dynastic literature.
