Abstract

Summary The archives of the Hittite capital Hattusa (Boǧazköy) are one of the most important sources for the Sumerian literature of the Late Bronze Age. At the end of the Old Babylonian period, school and literary texts of Mesopotamian origin spread toWestern regions reaching cities such as Ugarit, Emar and Hattusa where they were copied by local scribes or stored as library copies. The present paper gives a new edition of the fragment KUB 4.7 which was found at Hattusa and contains a hymn to the god Nergal also known from Old Babylonian and first millennium parallel texts.
