YENTIST TELLS OF
FINDS AT NIPPUR
LIGHT ON ANCIENT SYSTEMS OF LAW
Discoveries Made by Prof. Hiprecht Declared to Be
Among the Most Valuable Ever Made-Work of
Translation Going On at the University of Penn
sylvania-The Hymn to Elli

This subject, l believe, l have already
treated sufficiently in my book, New
Light on the Old Testament from
Babel
The advanced state of the systems
of law in those old cities, for instance,
was remarkable. The now famous
code of Hammurabi is based upon
precedents, proving. the. existence of
systems of law long prior to his time.
There may also have been codes even
earlier than his. There must surely
have been in the time of Abraham ex-
tensive legal libraries. Think also of
the wonderful Babylonian system of
writing! We know that the Chinese
have from 10000 to 10000 values for
their written signs. One scholar has
already collected about $4,000 values
for the Babylonian written signs, and
another list is being compiled, which
will, in all probability, contain as
many more. Given these premises,
it stands to reason that there must
have been immense collections of
documents and books in all the Baby
lonian cities. Some of the books must
have consisted of a thousand tablets
each. Of course, there were vast
storehouses or libraries to hold them.

Religious and Literary Texts.

nCiiSiSuS anu Literary Ic<tS.
There must have been a great
mass of religious literature in exist
ence. There must have been in use
hymns to all the gods, in practically
every cult, for in Nippur not only
Ellil, but most of the other divinities
of the middle east were worshiped.
There must also have been large num-
bers of inscriptions, omen texts, ETC.,
which are to be classed under the
head of literature. Thousands of these
texts have been found at Nippur, and
we have many of them at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. One of our
staff is now working at the translation
of religious texts. Other volumes en-
bodying the results of study of the tab
lets have been projected and will be
published in. due order. l would not
be surprised if a national epic should
eventually be found in part or whole
in Babylonian tablets.
"The question as to what the depo5-
itory of all this material shall be
called, whether a temple library or
something else, is of comparatively
trivial Importance, although it admits,
of course, of some discussion The
temple was certainly the chief insti-
tuition of the city, and dominated all
the rest. The fact that arithmetical
matter was found in the library would
not make it any the less a library.
The library of the University of Penn
sylvania contains statistical books of
all kinds as well as literary books. 1
would like it to be impressed upon
the public that we have at the univer-
sity very large numbers of literary
as well as business texts"
Prof. Clay declined to discuss any
other phase of the Nippur question.

In the past, Ohio has been the

The scrub male is doomed In
Ohio; his place at the head of the
stud, herd or flock is being taken
by pure bred sires. The successful
breeder follows system of high

weeds out all but those animals OF

to see a whole family Of excellent
