<MarkupParagraph
text="Hugo Heinrich Max Figulla was born in Loslau (today Wodzisław Śląski) in Silesia.
He began his university studies in Berlin and became a student of Bruno Meissner
in Breslau (today Wrocław). During his long career, Figulla published hundreds
of Neo-Babylonian letters, Old Babylonian and Neo-Babylonian legal and
administrative documents (from Woolley’s excavations at Ur, among others) and
Hittite texts in collections in Berlin, Constantinople and London.
After having left Germany, he took up the task of cataloguing the vast
Babylonian Collections of the British Museum. Up to then, the non-Assyrian
tablets of the museum received less attention than the Kuyunjik Collection
catalogued by Carl Bezold and Leonard W. King. Figulla published a first volume
on BM 12230–BM 15230 in 1961, a Sisyphean task according to one of the reviewers
(@bib{Krecher1967Figulla@311}.
In the course of his work, which was certainly laborious but by no means futile,
Figulla prepared hundreds of preliminary transliterations; these reveal his
knowledge of not only the periods covered by his previous publications but also
of the Ur III administration.
Figulla’s notebooks were digitized by Manuel Molina."
