<H3 align=center>What is Cuneiform Circle and how to be a member</H3>
|
|
9
|
<p class=span01>Cuneiform Circle is a circle of scientists engaged in the Old Babylonian
|
|
10
|
Akkadian Language. The main current aim is building the Old Babylonian Text Corpus, the Old
|
|
11
|
Babylonian Dictionary and the List of Old Babylonian Cuneiform Signs. <br>As we started already in 1988-89 some parts of the job are
|
|
12
|
already realized and we are eagerly working on other parts. We are still very unsatisfied with
|
|
13
|
the progress and quality of our work and hope we can improve it.<br><br>
|
|
14
|
</p>
|
|
15
|
<p class=span01>Old Babylonian Text Corpus (OBTC) on the web is an idea
|
|
16
|
arose already in 1995, when I was a member of the Institute of Ancient Near Eastern Studies
|
|
17
|
at the Charles University Faculty of Arts - Prague (until 1998). Mainly the technical
|
|
18
|
obstacles didn't enabled us to realize it. </P>
|
|
19
|
<P>Anyway there was some strenge feeling, there should be a way out, some solution.
|
|
20
|
Some years later I found it. This important step was enabled by learning the SQL.</P>

<P class=vstup>Cuneiform circle is assotiation of friends of Cuneiform studies with

the main focus in mind - the building of Old Babylonian Text Corpus and related matter (mainly dictionary, sign list etc.).</p>
|

40

<P class=vstup>Cuneiform circle does have an editorial board which manage the building

<P class=vstup>Everybode who has a serious interest to enter our assotiation is welcome.</p>
|

45
|
<h4>First condition</h4>
|
|
46
|
<P class=vstup>We suppose a future member does have a certain knowledge degree of Old Babylonian
|
|
47
|
Akkadian, i.e. min. M.A. in the field of Assyriology is highly recommend but in some cases not
|
|
48
|
indispensable.</p>
|
|
49
|
|
|
50
|
<h4>Second condition</h4>
|
|
51
|
<P class=vstup>To achieve growing range of texts we decide that the full access will be given to the members, who submitted
|
|
52
|
transliteration of Old Babylonian texts which are not yet in the corpus in the scope of Frankena's AbB 3, i.e min. 2500 lines.</p>
|
|
53
|
|
|
54
|
<h4>Third condition</h4>
|
|
55
|
<P class=vstup>The future member agrees that every other member can use his transliteration of Old
|
|
56
|
Babylonian texts without any other permission and that the editorial board can improve it mainly to unify the way how
|
|
57
|
the texts are translitered.</P>
