THE
(preface*
wealth of material brought to lit^lU by the excavations conducted by M. Ernest de
Sarzec at Telloh in Babylonia, since 1878, is a boon to ever>- student of the ancient East.
The artistic grace, the diverse methods of writing, and the great varict\-, of these 'finds'
m.ike them of first importance in any study of the most ancient periods of the history of
lower Bab}-lonia. The unstinted liberality of the French Government in promoting these
excavations at Telloh, and its praiseworth_\- care in preserving and exhibiting in the Louvre
the results of these treasure-finds, cannot be too highly commended.
A goodly number of the inscriptions contained in the Telloh exhibits have been
jniblished in the handsome work edited b}- Ernest de Sarzec and Leon Heuzey since 1884.'-'
These splendid reproductions, b}' an almost inimitable French art, have almost precluded
the necessity of consulting the original statues, tablets, and stela;.
The great Cylinders A and B are the most notable inscriptions in this publication.
Double plates 33 and 34, issued in 1S84, present Cylinder A executed by a heliograph
process. In 1887, this same Cylinder A was issued again on double plate 35, presenting six
views, covering the cylinder, as the result of a direct photographic process. In 1889, Cylinder
B was issued on double plate 36 in six views by the same process. These beautiful
reproductions on double plates 35 and 36 are, however, reductions of the originals by more
than one-half These reductions, together with an occasional abrasion, and several portions
almost hidden b\' calcareous deposits, present practical difficulties in deciphering all of the
signs of either of the c\dinders. The only other attempt to present the inscriptions of
these cylinders, was in the publication, in the Revue d^\ss\Tiologie,*-- of Amiaud's copy
of Cylinder B from among his posthumous manuscripts. This copy, in so far as Amiaud
was able to make identifications, is a transliteration into the late Assyrian character, while
unidentified signs are a transcript of the original. Several long omissions in this copy, due
doubtless to the fact that it was made for private use only, rendered it quite desirable
that as complete a transcript as possible of these great cylinders be made accessible to
scholars. Therefore, at the suggestion of Professor Friedrich Delitzsch, the author went to
Paris, in the spring of 1898, to undertake the work.
By the kindness of M. Leon Heuzey, Coiiservateiir dcs Antiquitcs orieiitalcs in the
Louvre, ready access was granted to the valuable documents of the Telloh collection, and
permission given to copy the great CyHnders A and B of Gudea.
The difficulties of the work at the beginning were twofold: (i) A lack of large
experience in copying inscriptions directly from clay originals, and (2) the fact that the reading
had to be done through the plate-glass of the case that contained the cylinders (see the
Diconvertes c-n Chahlie. Par Ernest de Sarzec, |iublie [lar les soins de Leon Heuzey. Paris, 1884
Vols. II. pp. 124—135; III. pp. 42 — 4S.

picture, on p. VI. taken b}- the author while in the midst of his work. Cylinder A is
on the left, and Cylinder B occupies the right end of the case). The first difficult}', during
more than forty days, or 200 hours, of close work, gradually wore awa\-. But the second
was a continual menace to the eyes, especially when obliged to use a magnifying glass,
requiring at the same time an especial effort to overcome the glare caused by the two surfaces
of glass.
Cylinder A is a hollow clay cylinder. 61 centimeters in length and ^2 cent, in diameter,
the rim of clay being about two cent, thick. Although this cylinder had been
broken into pieces, these pieces have been gathered up and nicely adjusted, with the loss
of but a few fragments. The surface is quite well preserved, aside from a few places unfortunately
rubbed, and others covered with a semi-transparent hard deposit. These places were
read, where read at all, only with difficulty.' Some assistance was secured by the use of
a mirror, casting upon the doubtful portion a strong ray of sunlight, and then magnifying
such special place. Cylinder A carries thirty columns, averaging about eighty lines (not
cases) to the column. The first-half of the inscription is more compactly and solidly written
than the latter part; the scribe apparently discovered that he was not obliged to crowd his
matter to find room for all of it on the cylinder, and thereafter wrote more loosely.
Cylinder B is also a hollow cla\- cylinder, 56 cent, in length, and 33 cent, in diameter,
the rim of clay being about two cent, thick. It contained originally twenty-four
columns, averaging about sixty lines to the column. With a less number of columns and a
le.ss number of lines to the column, and a slightly larger diameter than Cylinder A, the signcharacters
are larger and the whole inscription is more loosely written than Cylinder A.
This cylinder also had been broken into pieces, but has been carefully readjusted. Unfortunately
nearly all of the last quarter of it is lost, together with small pieces here and there
in the body of the inscription. A few portions, too, have been damaged by a hard deposit,
but the size of the signs is more of an aid to the decipherer than those on Cylinder A.
Cylinders A and B together, in their present form, carry more than 10,600 characters,
and, as will be seen by the Sign-List (pp. 89 — 11 1), more than 325 different signs, — many
of them peculiar to these c_\-linders.
In the revision of his first readings the author had the valuable assistance of the
e.xpert Assyriologist and attache of the Louvre, M. Frangois Thureau-Dangin. His skilled eye
rendered especial aid in the reading of the earlier parts of cols. X, XI, and XII of C}'linder
A, and in the damaged and partially deposit-covered portions of cols. IV and \'II of
Cylinder B, as well as in the depiction here and there of individual signs.
In the autographic work, the author has endeavored to transmit to paper as nearly
as possible, both the size of the column and the form of the sign, contained on the original
clay, — even to some apparent mistakes of the scribe, for example, in Cylinder A,
IV, 9, /(?;-, in 12, ;/, etc. The variations in the number of wedges in many signs reveal the
fact that considerable liberty was allowed in the formation of the characters (see Sign-List
for variations). The author's reproduction of na in Cylinder A should have, at the right
end of the horizontal line, as it has in Cylinder B, but one instead tivo wedge-heads.
The author, too, has labored under the disadvantage of being absent from the
originals in his autographic work. This may result, on further investigation, in discovering
some erroneous readings. But he ventures to hope that these may be so few as not to invalidate
the great body of the inscriptions.
Several questions of vital importance in cuneiform research have been suggested
in connection with the stnd\- of these and other (nulean inscriptions: (I) The direction of

V
writing and of reading these earl)' inscriptions, is a question that finds no adequate solution
in the writings of these cylinders. May it not have been that these cylinders were supported
on some kind of a horizontal axis and turned on this axis before the eyes of the reader,
to be read in the same position as were the inscriptions on the statues of Gudea, from above
downwards and proceeiling from right to left.^ — (2) The origin of the cuneiform writing receives
for its solution slight aid from these cylinders, because of a probable wide departure from
the original forms in the adoption and liberal use of the wedge-head.
The hte'rature on the Gudean inscriptions will receive attention in the Introtluclion
to Part II, which the author hopes to have in press in the autumn.
The author's most grateful thanks are hereby expressed to M. LiJon Hcuzey,
Coitscii'iitciir in the Louvre, for his gracious courtesy in granting his kind permission both
to copy, and to publish the results of his investigations on, these cylinders. lie is also under
great obligations to M. Thureau-Dangin for his kindly proffered and accepted assistance, both
in revising his readings of the cylinders, and in the use of the proof-sheets of his important
and recently issued work, Rccherelics siir I'Origine dc [ Ecriture Cuneiforinc. His thanks are
also due to many other members of the official force of the Louvre for their uniform
courtesy and kindness.
The author also acknowledges with gratitude the kind counsels of Professor Friedrich
Delitzsch in the prosecution of all the work.
He is no less obligated to the publishers for their generosity in assuming the responsibilit}"
of putting before the public, in such an attractive form, the results of his work.
