Jeremy Black Biography

Jeremy Black is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on September 1, 1951 in Isleworth, England, United Kingdom.

After his attendance at Slough Grammar School for Boys, in 1969 Black went to Oxford University as Exhibitioner in Classics to Worcester College. At Oxford he became interested in the ancient languages and cultures of Mesopotamia, and after qualifying changed his studies to Sumerian and Akkadian under Professor Oliver Gurney. Black’s (still unpublished) BA dissertation was entitled “A History of Nippur, from the Earliest Times to the End of the Kassite Period”: this work was utilised in the very beginning of S.W. Cole’s book Nippur in Late Assyrian Times, ca. 745-612 B.C., 1996, where it is described as the “only systematic treatment of Nippur’s early history”. In 1975 Black attained his BPhil in Cuneiform Studies.

For postgraduate studies, partly supervised by Edmond Sollberger of the British Museum, and with the continuing guidance of Gurney at Oxford, Black wrote his DPhil dissertation on “Ancient Babylonian Grammatical Theory”, submitted in 1980 and later published under the title Sumerian Grammar in Babylonian Theory, Rome 1984, 2nd edition 1991. A.R. George has described it as “the only book-length examination of the linguistic thinking that underpinned the Babylonians’ understanding of Sumerian”.
