eLibrary – Beta release

Introduction

Format

August 2026

Titles are listed by author, with keywords indicating the category into which the title fits. Keywords are given to the right of the title, and brief comments are occasionally added after the titles.

After each bibliographical entry, a brief summary is offered, presenting the core topic of the contribution. A link leads to ider abstracts, and occasionally more critical reviews are presented for some titles.

Comments within square brackets after the summary/abstract represent a critical observation by the reviewer.

If a full digital version is available online, a reference to the proper link is given.

When a review of a publication is available, it is indicated within curly brackets, with the link to the review itself.

To the right of each entry you can find other references, such as keywords or even links to other sections of this website or other pages outside this website; here a list of the different types of references:

  • cited: link(s) to pages in this website where the publication is cited (numbers are used in the case of mutliple links);
  • quotes: link(s) to publications related to Urkes/Tell Mozan quoted in the entry (numbers are used in the case of mutliple links); the link(s) redirect(s) to the page in the Urkesh/eLIBRARY where the publication(s) is/are listed;
  • topics (active/inactive): links to sections in this website dealing with a specific topic (e.g. conservation, park, etc.);
  • links (general): links to pages outside the present website (e.g. Ur III, religion, the latter linking to 4Banks/Mes-Rel, UCLA, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, etc.).


NOTE:

  • the “chain-like”/hyperlink symbol () at the left of each bibliographical entry provides, by hovering the mouse cursor over it, the hyperlink to that very entry.
