• Resumen

  • [This paper presents the first publication of a cuneiform tablet accompanied by a sealed envelope, originating from Kassite Nippur and now housed in the collections of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. The text documents the receipt of beer containers by a previously unknown brewer, Taqīšu, who was active during the reign of Kurigalzu II. Based on prosopographic analysis, the document can be linked to Nippur’s so-called “archive of the granary”. The seal, featuring a martial motif and inscribed with a brief anonymous prayer to Marduk, is identified as belonging to the pseudo-Kassite style.]
