Samuel Noah Kramer

    28 settembre 1897 – 26 novembre 1990

    Samuel Noah Kramer fu uno storico, filologo e assiriologo preminente, rinomato come esperto di spicco della lingua e della storia sumera. È spesso accreditato della creazione virtuale della letteratura cuneiforme sumera come campo accademico, autore di un numero significativo di libri sia per pubblico accademico che popolare. Il suo lavoro ha fatto progredire in modo significativo la comprensione di questa antica civiltà e della sua eredità letteraria. L'impatto di Kramer sul campo è profondo e i suoi contributi continuano a informare lo studio della cultura mesopotamica.

      History Begins at Sumer
    • The Sumerians, the pragmatic and gifted people who preceded the Semites in the land first known as Sumer and later as Babylonia, created what was probably the first high civilization in the history of man, spanning the fifth to the second millenniums B.C. This book is a compendium of what is known about them. The author outlines the history of the Sumerian civilization and describes their cities, religion, literature, education, scientific achievements, social structure, and psychology. Finally, he considers the legacy of Sumer to the ancient and modern world.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS5eh...Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta is an interesting tale about a diplomatic exchange and prelude to war between Enmerkar, the king of Uruk, and the unnamed Lord of Aratta, from around 2100 BC. Enmerkar wants precious stones for a new temple, Aratta wants barley as his people are under a famine. Enmerkar begins negotiations belligerently, but Aratta does not fear Uruk's military might, and thus begins the conflict between the two cities. The text is notable for being a very early version of the "Confusion of Tongues" narrative, in addition to including a story about the invention of writing on clay tablets.

      Poetry for Future
    • V knize je sebráno dvacet pět případů sumerského prvenství u nejrůznějších kulturních a civilizačních jevů v historii vůbec. Sumerové, kteří se neznámo odkud, najednou objevili v prostoru mezi Eufratem a Tigridem a o jejíchž civilizaci se do nedávné doby prakticky nic nevědělo, jsou vtéto knize vzniklé na základě překladů celé řady klínopisných tabulek a hlavně jejich fragmentů popsáni vlastně poprvé. Před 150 lety o nich neměl nikdo ani tušení a až ve 20. st. se podařilo zjistit bližší podrobnosti o jejich způsobu života a o jejich kultuře. Kramer v této knize shrnul poznatky o této civilizaci, protože jak sám říká „byl už unaven odpovídáním na osobní dotazy celé řady spisovatelů a pisálků, pídících se po té či oné sumerské prvotině a rozhodl se nejdůležitější sumerská prvenství shrnout do knihy a zpřístupnit je tak všem“. Druhé vydání, s předmluvou autora pro české čtenáře.
