This book contains an edition of an important Sumerian literary work, the 'Death of Gilgamesh' (am gal-e ba-nú), which was last published by the late S.N. Kramer, in 1944. An Iraqui excavation uncovered important new fragments in Meturan-Tall Haddad. These are published here for the first time. The Nippur fragments are published anew (introduction, commentary and French translation, with a chapter on Sumerian funerary texts and index).

This book contains the proceedings of the 61e Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale, which was held in Geneva and Bern in Switzerland from 22nd until 26th June 2015. The overarching conference theme "Text and Image" addressed a topic of fundamental importance for historical research on ancient Near Eastern cultures and societies. The aim of the conference was to stimulate an interdisciplinary dialogue between the closely related, but increasingly diverging disciplines of Near Eastern Archaeology and Assyriology. Fifty-one articles are published in three languages, including contributions to the main topic and to a number of workshops organized in the context of the RAI, as well as reports on an extraordinary session devoted to cultural heritage.
