Abstract
A table summarizing the main features of Ur III letters not included in Sollberger's and Michalowski's publications is presented. The table gives the date, the provenance, the name of the receiver, the name of the sender, the seal rolled, the content and the verbal forms of the letters concerned. An introduction preceding the table discusses shortly the main characteristics of the epistolary genre up to the end of the III millennium B.C and the possible reasons of the birth of the epistolary genre itself, whose first appearance happened very late (about seven and half century after) with respect to the invention of the writing system.
