Miscellaneous mss., 2100 BCE-1992

Series:

Quantity: 1 cone. 12 x 4 cm.

Scope and Contents:

1. "The accompanying terra cotta cone was found several years ago by native Arabs in one of the ruin mounds of Ur of the Chaldees, the birthplace of the Biblical Abraham, now called Mugheir, on the lower Euphrates in Southern Babylonia. It was built into a temple wall with several other similar cones, to serve the purpose of the modern corner stone, with the hope that one of them might survive to tell future generations who built the temple. It bears a fine cuneiform inscription of twenty lines in two columns in the Sumerian language which was used in Babylonian before the Semitic Babylonian, and it comes from Libit-Ishtar, a prominent Babylonian king whose date has been fixed at 2060 B.C., just before the time of Abraham. This inscription is probably the best example yet discovered of the writing of the exact age of Abraham and in his own country. It is also of historical interest, for it mentions several of the early cities of the book of Genesis, the existence of which was once doubted. Its translation reads: 'The divine Libit-Ishtar, the humble shepherd of Nippur, the faithful husbandman of Nippur, who does not change the face of Eirdu, a king befitting Erech, the king of Isin, the king of Sumer and Akkad (North and South Babylonia) who captivated the heart of the goddess Ininni (Ishtar) am I. When the justice in Sumer and Akkad he had established, the temple of justice he built.'" Edgar James Banks, Field director of the Babylonian expedition from the University of Chicago, 1903-1906, to Carroll A. Wilson, n.d.
2. Lipit-Ishtar, king of the city/state of Isin, reigned from ca. 1934-1923 BCE according to Gordon D. Young, Purdue University, 11 July 1975.
3. Cone is designated as Lipit-Ishtar 2: 21-line cone in W. W. Hallo, "Royal Inscriptions of the Early Old Babylonian Period: a Bibliography," Bibliiotheca Orientalis XVIII No. 1/2 (Jan.-Mar., 1961), 4-14 (Z3001 .B584).
4. Cone is placed in its historical context by Edmund Gordon in "Lipit-Ishtar of Isin," Dudley Peter Allen Memorial Art Museum, Bulletin, (Oberlin College, Ohio) 14 (1956) 16-27.

Quantity: 1 tablet. 5 x 4.5 cm.

Scope and Contents:

1. Date of tablet has been placed in the nine year reign of Amar-suena (ca. 2047-2039 BCE) according to Gordon D. Young, Purdue University, 11 July 1975.
2. Drawing of tablet, transcription and English translation by Stephen D. Simmons published in Journal of Cuneiform Studies, XVII: 32 (April 1936) (PJ3102 .J86).
3. Transcription and English translation by Edmond Sollberger published in Sollberger, Business and Administrative Correspondence Under the Kings of Ur, Locust Valley, N.Y., J. J. Augustin publisher, 1966, page 20 (Texts from Cuneiform Studies, Vol. 1) (PJ4075 .S68).
4. The top three lines tell of a religious festival for which the sheep and grain are needed. Below that is given the name of the person to whom they are to be sent. The name of the writer of the letter is not given on the tablet. Originally this tablet would have been in a clay envelope on which the seal of the writer would have appeared. This would have been sufficient to identify him. In writing on one of these tablets it was grasped between thumb and first finger at the top of the sides. The indentations here can still be felt on this tablet. This tablet has been partially baked. (Information from Ferris J. Stephens, Curator of Babylonian and Assyrian Clay Tablets, Yale University Library, 1958, January 23.)

Scope and Contents:

2. The text reads that 1 royal gur of barley was received from a man named Ir in the Month RI (the fifth month in the calendar of the city of Umma), the year after the city of Urbillum was destroyed.

The seal impression reads "Ur-e-. son of Lu-Sharake," meaning "Man of Shara," which was the city god of Umma

Scope and Content:

3. This is apparently the only private letter containing a detailed contemporary account of the Gunpowder Plot. The fact that the letter is dated from Gray's Inn indicates that the writer had legal connections, and this may account for his inside knowledge of the affair less than a week after the event.
4. The enclosed copy - also in Pattricke's hand - of the warning letter to Monteagle contains a few verbal variants from the original. At the foot is Pattricke's note that it was "Delivered to my Lorde of Mountegles page inclosed in a letter of his" and a list of the gunpowder and "other instruments" found in the cellar with Guy Fawkes.
