The Cornell University Studies in Assyriology and Sumerology (CUSAS) is a series that encompasses the publication and extensive analyses of texts written in the Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian languages in cuneiform scripts inscribed on clay tablets excavated in Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran. The publications provide scholars and students with the broad range of original sources for their languages, literatures, histories, religions, and cultures spanning nearly three millennia. The series investigates and illuminates the complexities of the societies that produced these sources. Although the emphasis in each work may be different, they incorporate transcriptions, translations, and studies, accompanied by autograph copies and photographs, of literary, religious, economic, and grammatical texts that together reflect the entire scope of Mesopotamian civilization.
