    Alternating with LGLOR2614, this course of 22,5 hours deals with texts of varied content (historic, religious, etc.) in Akkadian dating
    essentially from the second and first millennium BC.
    To this course are added 7,5 hours of exercises which correspond to the personal preparation of an Akkadian text.

    Aims : At the end of this course, the student will be capable to translate a cuneiform text and to make intelligent use of the dictionaries,
    grammars, and sign lists.

    can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.

    Evaluation methods : Written exam (translation and analysis of a text in cuneiform).

    Teaching methods : The selected texts are prepared by the students and the translations are discussed during the course, in order to reach a valid
    translation and a good understanding of the text.

    year, the texts studied, for example, are:
    - extracts of Akkadian epics or myths (Gilgamesh, Enuma elish);
