The first comprehensive catalog of the National Museum of Denmark’s cuneiform objects, featuring detailed commentary, line drawings, and digital resources from a groundbreaking collaborative research project.

This book marks the first complete catalog of cuneiform-inscribed artifacts held by the National Museum of Denmark. The product of a four-year project by the University of Copenhagen and the National Museum titled “Hidden Treasures: The Cuneiform Collection of the National Museum of Denmark,” it offers an exhaustive record of cuneiform tablets, clay bricks, amulets, and reliefs. Each entry includes detailed commentary and line drawings, and the catalog is integrated with the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, which also provides access to high-resolution digital photographs and scans, ATF transliterations, and descriptions of the materials. This essential reference work presents a thorough and accessible exploration of the museum's cuneiform treasures, serving as a crucial resource for scholars and enthusiasts.
