Francis Joannès, « The Goddess Nanaja's new Clothes », HAL-SHS : histoire, ID : 10670/1.j32iof
The subject of this chapter is based on one of the most frequently studied texts among the Neo-Babylonian administrative archives of the Eanna, the temple of the goddess Ištar in Uruk. This document is known from two duplicates almost identical to each other (YOS 6 71 = 72) and was clearly one of the texts which the temple administration had archived for future consultations. It concerns a conflict that occurred over the ceremonial kusītu-garment that covered the cult statue of the goddess Ištar and the goddess Nanaja, the two major divinities of Eanna.
