Every surviving work of the ancient Near East that a reader can sit down with, and where to find it. Tick the anthologies you've read and the register fills in behind you. What stays empty is the point.
Column width is corpus size; fill is what your collections reach. Hatched columns are corpora no collection touches at all.
Your shelf
Anthologies you've read. Turning one off recalculates every work behind it, so you can see what each is actually carrying. Below, the editions that would close what's left — each shows how many unread works it moves.
How a work gets its mark. A filled circle is read. A split circle is read only in a translation since superseded — usually ANET's, which is from 1969 or earlier. A part-filled circle shows how much of a long work or a grouped corpus your collections reach. Click any circle to set it yourself; a blue dot means you overrode the calculation. Click a title to see what the work is and where to find it.
Archive-scale entries — Mari's twenty thousand tablets, Kaneš's twenty-three thousand — are counted separately, since no one finishes them.
