Abstract

Focus on the current situation regarding the safeguarding of Ebla textual data. Discussion of the isolation of the texts in the Eblaite archives, so ancient in the Semitic context and so original in their writing compared with the Mesopotamian cuneiform standard. List of open questions and things we'd like to know, but don't.
