The second chapter presents a general survey of Urnamma’s hymnic corpus, including arguments for a broader definition of Sumerian royal hymns. The third chapter deals with correlations of Urnamma’s hymns with other textual sources pertaining to him.

The final chapter presents editions of Urnamma hymns.
