The Weidner god list is a conventional name for an ancient Mesopotamian list of deities, compiled by scribes in the late third millennium BCE. Its oldest known copy dates to the Ur III or Isin-Larsa period. Used as an exercise for novice scribes, it was later expanded with explanations of divine names. In the second millennium BCE, it spread to Emar, Ugarit and Amarna, including multilingual editions.
