About this book
Open Access
The book provides an Arabic edition of Old Babylonian letters from the Mari Archives (Tell Hariri, Syria) known among Assyriologists as ‘women’s letters’ or ‘feminine correspondence’. Court and elite women from Mari and neighboring areas act as receivers, senders, or both. They tell about their personal stories, but also deliver information on political, cultural, religious, and social aspects of life in ancient Mesopotamia and Syria.
