Synopsis
Contributing Authors

No other Mesopotamian ruler was praised as much as ulgi of Ur (20942047 BC). The hymns written in his honor, more than 30 of which have survived partially or in full, were considered exemplary specimen of their genre already in ancient times. Despite a vivid interest in ulgi in recent research, many of the hymns dedicated to him are not present in a modern edition, especially those compositions that exceed the length of 300 lines, such as the hymn ulgi F. This volume closes the gap by providing a complete edition, translation, and comment, preceded by an extensive introduction. German text.

Kein anderer mesopotamischer Herrscher wurde so sehr gepriesen wie sulgi von Ur (2094-2047 v.Chr.). Die zu seinem Ruhm verfassten Hymnen, von denen mehr als 30 ganz oder teilweise uberliefert sind, galten schon im antiken Mesopotamien als exemplarische Vertreter der Gattung. Obwohl sich die moderne Forschung intensiv mit sulgi beschaftigt hat, liegen fur viele der auf ihn gedichteten Hymnen bis heute keine modernen Editionen vor. Dies gilt besonders fur jene Kompositionen, die wie die Hymne sulgi F einen Umfang von mehr als 300 Zeilen haben. In sulgi F wird nach einem umfangreichen Aufgabenkatalog fur den mesopotamischen Herrscher die Berufung sulgis durch den Stadtgott Nanna und dessen Reise von Ur nach Nippur geschildert, auf der er beim Hochgott Enlil die Bestatigung des von ihm erwahlten Herrschers sulgi erwirkt. Der Rest der Hymne ist nur fragmentarisch erhalten und ganz dem Preisen des Herrschers gewidmet. Mit Band 9 der “Texte und Materialien der Frau Professor Hilprecht Collection of Babylonian Antiquities” wird die zwischen Hymnus und Epos oszillierende Dichtung erstmals auf der Grundlage samtlicher bislang bekannter Texte vollstandig ediert, ubersetzt und kommentiert. In einer ausfuhrlichen Einleitung werden zudem ein grundlegender Forschungsbericht und eine Inhaltsangabe der Dichtung gegeben und Datierungsfragen sowie der “Sitz im Leben” diskutiert.
