Lot 1286
2100-1800 BC. A slightly domed ceramic disc with incised lines to both broad faces and Sumerian script; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Clay Tablet with Cuneiform Inscription. 90 x 95mm. This is a round tablet, flat on the obverse, convex on the reverse. Each side, when perfectly preserved, had three lines of Sumerian script. It is an exercise tablet, for the training of scribes. First the teacher wrote out three lines extracted from a lexical list, then the student had to write out the same three lines on the reverse. This meant that the student had to commit the signs to memory, since he could not write out signs on the reverse while looking at the obverse! The tablet dates to c. 2100-1800B.C. and has suffered some damage, as often happened to school exercises. The three lines are extracted from a list of terms of items of cloth: Bandage / Mourning garment / Cloth ration. 183 grams, 94mm (3 3/4"). From an important North London collection formed before 1980. Fine condition.
Lot 1287
750-650 BC. A rectangular ceramic tablet with cuneiform text; accompanied by a copy of an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Ancient Assyrian Clay Tablet. 95 x 52mm. The format of this tablet is unusual. The top two corners have been cut away, and a hole bored through the tab so created, to that the tablet could be held in a wooden frame. The real text in Assyrian cuneiform follows below this tab, and was continued on the reverse, but this is now lost. The tab on the obverse is decorated with crossing bands, and amid them there is a short inscription which is not now quite complete: 'Upon the house of Mr. [...] son of his god, .... [extend] protection.' The main text is intended to keep the owner safe from the myriad evil demons conceived to inhabit the universe. It is a variant of many such texts, but is apparently unique in its particular selection and listing of of [sic] these malign powers. In the continuation on the back, which is now lost, instructions on how to deal with these threats were no doubt written. The following is a translation, though the ends of the lines are mostly now lost: 'Preventive ritual. Evil of dreams, signs and evil omens, evil of wicked and fearful omens, evil and no good of [...] by making an offering, the diviner's rites [...] evil of sorceries, charms, spells, magic, evil of mankind, evil 'foot', ... dread, panic, silence, breathlessness, despondency, the curse of the gods, [...] the mouth of the people [....] confrontation with a god, [...] the ban of the gods [...].' The tablet dates to c. 750-650 B.C. and is rare in its particular format with the tab to hold it in a frame. The script preserved is that of a professional scribe: clear and legible where well preserved. 80 grams, 95mm (3 3/4"). Property of a North London collector; acquired in the 1970s. Fine condition. Rare.
