520 |a The ancient Near East is not only where the world's earliest writing system, Babylonian cuneiform, was invented some 5000 years ago, but also where nearly 2000 years later numerous other scripts developed each to write a specific language. As a framework for the rich intellectual history of this region's ancient past, this book investigates how this 'confusion of tongues' came about, how writings in the multiple languages and scripts interacted with each other, and what the consequences were.
