Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature

"The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (ETCSL) is based at the University of Oxford. So far it has made accessible, via the World Wide Web, more than 350 literary works composed in the Sumerian language in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) during the late third and early second millennia BCE. The corpus comprises Sumerian texts in transliteration, English prose translations and bibliographical information for each composition. The transliterations and the translations can be searched, browsed and read online using the tools of the website... The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (ETCSL) is now in its second edition. This is an evolving edition in which new functions are added to the website and revised readings incorporated within the transliterations. The first edition remains accessible, stable and unchanged. It can be found here: http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/index1.htm."
