Cuneiform Tablets in Special Collections


Two scholars have written a paper describing ancient artifacts held in the Knox College Special Collections. The paper "Cuneiform Texts in the Special Collections of Knox College" appeared in a 2015 issue of the journal Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin.  In the paper Liu Changyu and John P. Nielsen describe the artifacts and provide transcriptions and translations of the texts on the stone tablets.
