Originally begun in collaboration with Professor W. L. Moran, this
work collects all of the extant cuneiform tablets inscribed with
lists of temples. The temple lists are classified in terms of their
organization, whether associated with lexical lists, organized
theologically, topographically, or hierarchically-presenting
deities and temples according to their relative rank. The main part
of the book is an up-to-date gazetteer of the ceremonial names of
ancient Mesopotamian temples. This gazetteer replaces similar
(though less complete) listings from earlier in the century and
provides (where known) location, divine owner, and other relevant
information for each temple listed. By including not only names
from temple lists, but also from other literary genres, Professor
George has provided a standard reference guide that Assyriologists
and others with interest in Mesopotamian religion will consult with
regularity for years to come. Indexes to the gazetteer of divine,
personal, and royal names, and of cuneiform tablets enhance the
reference value of this unique tool. The sixteen plates include
some material not previously published.
