The Syrian Digital Library of Cuneiform (SDLC) project represents the collaborative
efforts of a Syrian and international team of researchers to prepare an interactive
Arabic / English / French presentation of a rich and indigenous cuneiform tradition dating
back five millennia.
The cuneiform tablets collections, kept mainly in the museums of Damascus, Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, and Idlib, originate from close to 40 different archaeological sites. Based on an integrated catalogue, those texts which have already been published will be the subject of an electronic edition, consisting of digital images and transliterations, presented via the web-pages of the SDLC. This presentation will be directly linked to the international project CDLI, making the texts part of an ever growing corpus of cuneiform texts freely available online, and benefitting from the powerful search tools of that project. |
