Description: The present volume is the outcome of the workshop "Keilschriftliche Syllabare und die Methodik ihrer Erstellung", held at the Free University Berlin from April 11 to 12, 2016, and sponsored by the "Antike-Kolleg", Berlin. The contributions were varied but all centred upon questions of the syllabary; in this way an important number of the studies concerning syllabaries has been covered and discussed. The focus lies on the regions of the so-called peripheral Akkadian and comprises work about syllabaries from Ugarit, Tell el-Amarna, Emar, Alalah, Qatna and Mari.
