In these pages, the Musées royaux d’Art et d’Histoire (MRAH; Curator of the ancient Near Eastern collection: Eric Gubel), Brussels, and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI), an international research project based at the University of California, Los Angeles, present a database of over 300 inscribed objects in the museum’s archaeological collection. Many of the cuneiform tablets here were digitized following the standard conventions of the CDLI. The full catalogue of the collection, including transliterations and translations of the texts, and word and sign glossaries is currently under construction.
