Long abstractLists represent the oldest, and most pervasive, scholarly genre in ancient Mesopotamia. Cuneiform commentaries, first attested in the first millennium BCE, can be regarded as a genre derived from lexical lists. The contribution by Enrique Jiménez studies the ways in which lexical lists are cited in commentaries, and compares them with quotations from texts other than lexical lists.
