In K. Ryholt and G. Barjamovic (eds), Problems of Canonicity and Identity Formation in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, CNI Publications 43, Museum Tusculanum Press. Says the Early Dynastic literary texts, above all the UD.GAL.NUN compositions, are very hard to understand and probably fell out of use before Ur III, and that the origin of much of the Old Babylonian Sumerian corpus is unknown because spelling and grammar were modernised in transmission. Used for a senior Sumerologist's statement of how much remains unread.
