Title: Sumerian temple documents
First published: 1915
Description: This paperback 64 page book was my late father's doctoral dissertation.   The condition of the 3 copies I own is  poor.  I don't know what sort of information you want to describe his thesis.  As I never learned how to decipher Sumerian temple documents, I'm not the person to ask.  When I was still living in a Westchester County suburb of NYC, Mt. Vernon, an emeritus professor, an expert, from Yale translated the tablets I still own; some of them were used in the thesis.  All I know is that they originaled in Drehem about 4000 years ago.  Most of them are  just bills of lading.  For ex: 7 sheep,3 goats, etc.  The professor is William W. Hallo.  If you look on the Web under my Dad's name, Rabbi Elias Margolis, PhD, you may learn more.Sorry I can't be more explicit. Ruth M. Kaufmann
