The Prosopography of the Middle Assyrian Texts (PMA)

该项目的主要目标是创建一个“传记”词典，其中包含了中亚述时期（公元前1434-1056年）出版的非文学楔形文字文本中证实的约4800个人名。这本书（缩写PMA）不仅展示了书面资料，而且还提供了对每个被证明的人的名字和“传记”的语言分析。这本关于中亚述时期的“名人录”将为这一时期和其他古代美索不达米亚历史时期的onomasonomy、年代学和社会史领域的研究提供资料来源。这项工作包括按字母顺序排列的人名目录，分为两卷（PMA 1， a - k和PMA 2， L-Z）和第三卷（PMA 3），其中包括姓名组成要素的分析目录，类型分类，职业和头衔目录以及原籍地和进一步登记。因此，PMA 3将允许详尽地使用材料，促进和促进中亚述时期社会历史的研究。

The main goal of this project is to create a “biographical” lexicon of the about 4800 personal names attested in the published, non-literary cuneiform texts from the Middle Assyrian period (1434–1056 BCE). This prosopography (abbreviated PMA) not only presents the written sources, but also offers a linguistic analysis of the names as well as “biographies” of each attested person. This “Who is who” of the Middle Assyrian period will make the sources available for studies in the fields of onomastics, chronology and social history of this and other periods of the ancient Mesopotamian history. The work consists in an alphabetical catalogue of the personal names in two volumes (PMA 1, A-K and PMA 2, L-Z) and a third volume (PMA 3) with an analytical catalogue of the constituent elements of the names, a typological classification, and a catalogue of the professions and titles as well as of the places of origin and further registers. PMA 3 will thus allow the exhaustive use of the material facilitating and promoting studies in social history of the Middle Assyrian period.
