ETCSL Cuneiform Sources

The objective here is to provide links to the CDLI catalogue sources for the literary works given by ETCSL. The notes also tie the etcsl catalogue numbers to the corresponding Q-catalogue numbers (used in CDLI as composite id's). In principle, the etcsl web-pages list the cuneiform sources for each of the literary works considered. However, in practice, there are sometimes difficulties in relating the sources listed by etcsl to those in the CDLI catalogue and so notes are included considering some of these difficulties. Peterson's study of sumerian literary fragments (BPOA 9) post-dates ETCSL and adds a lot of new information.

etcsl 0.1.1 = Q000319: Ur III catalogue from Nippur (N1)

The etcsl reference given for Ni 1905 is to Civil in Fs Jacobsen (AS 20) p. 145 n. 36, which mentions the tablet as a duplicate of HS 1360. However, note BE 6/2, 56, which is listed as Ni? 1905?, is clearly a different tablet.
