Der Band bildet den Auftakt zu einer Edition des gesamten Corpus altmesoptamischer Götterlisten. Er enthält die Listen "An = Anum" (nebst Vorläufern) sowie "An = Anu ša amēli" und einige ähnliche, mehr oder weniger fragmentarische Listen. Die Götterliste An = Anum war mit ca. 2000 Einträgen die umfangreichste Liste ihrer Art. Sie ist systematisch angelegt und enthält Erklärungen sowie eingeschobene Zusammenfassungen einzelner Gruppen von Gottheiten. Die Textzeugen bieten in unterschiedlichem Umfang auch Aussprache- und Übersetzungsglossen. In der vorliegenden Edition wird jede Liste als Komposittext mit Übersetzung, kritischem Apparat und synoptischem Nachweis der Textzeugen präsentiert, es folgen jeweils philologische Kommentare. Zudem sind alle Textzeugen einzeln transliteriert. Namen, Wörter und Glossen werden durch detaillierte Indizes erschlossen. Handkopien bzw. Photos bisher unveröffentlichter Texte beschließen den Band. This volume is the first in a planned edition of the complete corpus of ancient Mesopotamian god lists. It contains the lists "An = Anum" (including its forerunners) and "An = Anu ša amēli" along with several similar, more-or-less fragmentary lists. The god list An = Anum was, with its ca. 2000 entries, the most comprehensive list of its kind. It is systematically organized and contains explanations both of individual deities and of certain groups of deities. The textual witnesses also provide, to a varying degree, pronunciation and translation glosses. In this edition each list is presented as a composite reconstructed text with translation, critical apparatus, and synoptic table of the textual witnesses, followed in each case by a philological commentary. In addition, the textual witnesses are transliterated individually. Names, words, and glosses are made accessible through detailed indexes. Hand copies and photographs of previously unpublished sources conclude the volume.
