Abstract
For a long time, it was assumed that Paleo-Babylonian knowledge was formulated in series in the second half of the second millennium BC, which spread throughout the Near East. In recent years, it has become clearer that this image is too simple and does not do justice to the complexity of text transmission. The lecture will present the various, often competing, serial formations, show the modes of transmission and explain in particular how the knowledge acquired in Babylon developed in Assyria. In addition, texts will be presented that prove the disagreement over who had the authority to influence the " current tradition ".
