We have chosen the
[Old Babylonian letters (AbB)](http://cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=old_babylonian_letters)
(1900-1600 BC) as the second corpus for testing our approach. This is
*cuneiform* corpus of ca. 1300 documents (tablets and envelopes) with legible inscriptions.

*cuneiform* corpus of ca. 4775 documents (tablets and envelopes) with legible inscriptions.

The first cuneiform corpus that we have brought into Text-Fabric is the
proto-cuneiform
[Uruk](https://github.com/Nino-cunei/uruk/blob/master/docs/about.md)
corpus.
The previous cuneiform corpora that we have brought into Text-Fabric are:

* cuneiform [OldBabylonian](https://github.com/Nino-cunei/oldbabylonian/blob/master/docs/about.md) corpus.

### Transliterations

On the [search page](https://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search.php) we performed two
searches: one with `AbB` in the *Primary publication* field and one with the same string
in the *Secondary publication(s)* field. In both searches we entered
`Old Babylonian` in the *Chronology - period* field.
On the results
page, we have chosen `Download all text`.
On the [search page](https://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search.php) we performed a
search with `Old Assyrian` in the *Chronology - period* field.
On the results page, we have chosen `Download all text`.

The downloaded files contain metadata and transliterations.

We use a dozen or so of the metadata fields, but the focus is on the transliterations.

We have a [specification](transcription.md) of the transcription format and
how we model the text in Text-Fabric.

We have checked the conversion from the ATF transliterations to Text-Fabric
thoroughly.
An account of the checking that we performed is in the
[checks](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/Nino-cunei/oldbabylonian/blob/master/programs/checks.ipynb)
notebook.
