The first part tells the story of the "Eduba" – the tablet house, and the earliest known school. The curriculum of the eduba and its pedagogical techniques are illuminated by the pupils' exercise tablets. A generous selection of images fromthe collection illustrate the various points in the essay, including the preparation of individualized lessons, the use of humor in the exercises, and the universal travails of the student-teacher relationship.
The second part is a catalogue, providing a description and full colour illustration of each tablet.
