This book continues the publication of the tablets from the house conventionally designated as Maison d’Urtenu. Sylvie Lackenbacher and Florence Malbran-Labat deliver here the editio princeps of 130 letters in Akkadian discovered during the 1994 campaigns. This exceptional correspondence, dated from the reigns of the last two kings of Ugarit, traditionally Niqmaddu III and Ammurapi, sheds light on a crucial moment that has, until now, been poorly documented.
English summary: This book continues the publication of the tablets from the house conventionally designated as Maison d’Urtenu. Sylvie Lackenbacher and Florence Malbran-Labat deliver here the editio princeps of 130 letters in Akkadian discovered during the 1994 campaigns. This exceptional correspondence, dated from the reigns of the last two kings of Ugarit, traditionally Niqmaddu III and Ammurapi, sheds light on a crucial moment that has, until now, been poorly documented. French description: Apres les volumes RSO VII, RSO XIV et RSO XVIII, cet ouvrage continue la publication des tablettes de la maison designee conventionnellement comme Maison d’Urtenu, dont les vestiges ont ete degages sur le tell de Ras Shamra – Ougarit de 1986 a 2002. Sylvie Lackenbacher et Florence Malbran-Labat livrent ici l’editio princeps de 130 lettres en akkadien decouvertes au cours de la campagne de 1994, lettres dont le nombre, la provenance et les sujets confirment qu’il ne s’agit pas des archives du personnage qui a donne son nom a la maison. La plupart des lettres sont adressees au roi d’Ougarit, a la reine et au prefet, et quel qu’ait ete le principal occupant de cette grande demeure, il est clair qu’il avait des liens etroits avec le pouvoir royal. Presque toutes proviennent de l’etranger – embrassant un vaste horizon, presque tout le Proche-Orient du temps -, expediees soit depuis les cours amies, soit par des Ougaritains etablis ou envoyes en mission a l’etranger. Cette correspondance exceptionnelle, datee des regnes des deux derniers rois d’Ougarit, traditionnellement Niqmaddu III et Ammurapi, nous eclaire sur un moment capital mais mal documente, la fin du Bronze recent, juste avant les evenements qui allaient bouleverser le Proche-Orient.
