EXPANDED PUBLICATIONS SECTION

An expanded and updated publications section with a bibliography of 468 titles has been introduced. The new section is a more accurate reflection of the Schøyen Collection as a resource, and is an aid to researchers, publishers, students and scholars.

The section is divided into three parts:

• Academic publications that are part of the Manuscripts in the Schoyen Collection series
• Publications where manuscripts from the Collection are published or mentioned
• Pictorial references to manuscripts in the Schoyen Collection

The updated page on the Manuscripts in the Schoyen Collection Series includes the most recent publications which are:

Sumerian proverbs in The Schøyen Collection, by Bendt Alster, in: Cornell University Studies in Assyriology and Sumerology, vol. 2. Bethesda, MD, 2007. (Cuneiform texts II.)

 

A Remarkable Collection of Babylonian Mathematical Texts, by Jöran Friberg, in: Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences. Springer Verlag, 2007. (Cuneiform Texts I.)

 

Buddhist Manuscripts III, general editor: Jens Braarvig. Oslo, Hermes Publishing, 2006.

 

Other works in progress in the series, which covers more than 60 per cent of the Schoyen Collection, include:

Magical and Biblical Texts, mainly in Aramaic, 5th-6th c, by Prof. Shaul Shaked, Hebrew University, Jerusalem (3 vols)

 

Dead Sea Scrolls in The Schøyen Collection, by Dr. Torleif Elgvin

 

Both are due for publication in 2009
