“I WAS NOT WARM IN THE COLD”. ANOTHER OLD BABYLONIAN PROVERBIAL COLLECTION

Abstract

BM 108868, an unpublished Old Babylonian tablet containing a collection of moral and existential sayings is edited here for the first time, accompanied by a commentary, photos and a hand-copy. With this discovery, the existence of a solid 2nd millennium tradition of monolingual Akkadian proverbial sayings is established.
