LGLOR1611/1611A and LGLOR1612/1612A.

In-depth study of the Akkadian and Hittite languages.

Alternating with LGLOR 2611A, this course of 45 hours deals with texts of varied content (historic, religious, etc.) in Akkadian and Hittite, dating essentially from the second millennium B.C.

Students who follow the course 5 credits will choose between the Akkadian and Hittite sections of the complete course LGLOR2612.

At the end of this course, the student will be capable to translate a cuneiform text and to make intelligent use of the dictionaries, grammars, and sign lists.

Written exam ( translation and analysis of a text in cuneiform).

The selected texts are prepared by the students and the translations are discussed during the course, in order to reach a valid translation and a good understanding of the text.

Le cours permet d'approfondir et d'élargir les connaissances et la pratique de la langue acquises au premier cycle. Suivant les années, les textes étudiés sont, par exemple :

- des extraits des épopées ou mythes akkadiens et hittites (Gilgamesh, Enuma elish, mythe de Telepinu);
- des inscriptions royales néo-assyriennes;
- des rituels hittites;
- des édits et traités hittites.
