Some Thoughts on Authorship in Ancient Mesopotamia

Beate Pongratz-Leisten

This lecture will take place online. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. Zoom information will be provided via confirmation email to registered participants. How do we think about authorship in a world in which the production of text took place with a strong commitment to the past? In which passages from older texts could be reused to construct some kind of bricolage with no notion of forgery?
