Looking for Alster’s hand-copy of A 30289 — Dumuzi’s Dream, Plate V
Hi all. I was pointed here after posting this in r/Sumer, as this community may be a better fit for the cuneiform side of my question.
I’m looking for a clear copy of Plate V in Bendt Alster, Dumuzi’s Dream: Aspects of Oral Poetry in a Sumerian Myth (1972), specifically the hand-copy of A 30289 / 3N-T 661.
My interest is in lines 48–49, the “two reeds” passage, where Geshtinanna interprets the image of the two reeds as representing herself and Dumuzi, with one being separated from the other.
I’m researching this passage for a memorial tattoo. I’d like to use an attested Sumerian passage rather than a modern translation into Sumerian, and before doing anything permanent I want to see the published hand-copy and ultimately have the cuneiform checked properly.
I don’t need the whole book — just a readable image of Plate V, ideally including the complete hand-copy of A 30289 so I don’t accidentally misidentify the relevant lines.
A very kind person on r/Sumer was actually able to track down the exact plate and uploaded it here:
Unfortunately, Imgur is currently unavailable in my region, so I can’t access the image. I’ve tried several proxies without success.
If anyone here has access to Alster’s Plate V, or can access the Imgur image and would be willing to share it by another method, I’d be extremely grateful.
Thanks!
