SEM 761 Reading of Akkadian Texts
Reading of selected texts in Akkadian, chosen both to increase students' grasp of the language (and the culture it represents) and to contribute to the students' research interests in the larger context of the ancient Near East, Semitics, and literature. Texts may represent in one semester a single period or type of text (e.g., Late Bronze Age or literary texts) and in the other, a series of explorations of different text groups. Prerequisites: 661 and 662 or equivalent.
