What is Hittite Studies in Honor of Harry A. Hoffner, Jr. on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday . Edited by Gary Beckman, Richard Beal, and Gregory McMahon. Winona Lake, Indiana: Eisenbrauns, 2003. Pp. xxiii + 406 + 14 figs. $59.50. about?

This volume publishes thirty-six Ur III texts from Umma, four of which have been previously published and an additional two that are to be edited elsewhere. It begins with a very helpful catalogue of texts with columns, one for the museum numbers, one for the dimensions, another for a summary of the contents (such as "balanced account of barley," "inspection of workers in the prison"), another for significant administrative expressions, and a final column for the date. The texts in this volume were accessioned under the same date as those in Nisaba, vol. 9, though these tend to be large-some very large indeed. Because some of the texts cover a number of pages of transliterations, it might have been helpful to have the text numbers given in running heads. A fair number are balanced accounts.
