Douglas R. Frayne was born on April 20th, 1951. He received his M.A. in 1975 from the Department of Near East Studies of the University of Toronto. He received a Ph.D. from The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures at Yale in 1981. His thesis was 'The Historical Correlations of the Sumerian Royal Hymns (2400-1900 BC)' under W.W. Hallo of Yale University. Frayne then returned to the University of Toronto as a professor of the Department of Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations. Frayne was a Researcher and Editor on the Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia Project Until 2006 and subsequently on The Neo-Babylonian Text Corpus from Ur Project (with P.A. Beaulieu) and a number of other research projects. He was a member of the American Oriental Society and he held various positions with the Oriental Club of Toronto and the Canadian Society for Mesopotamian Studies.

Douglas R. Frayne wrote numerous books and papers on Mesopotamian studies. For myself and many others his most memorable work was the RIM series (Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia). These volumes helped make an entire corpus of ancient Mesopotamian texts accessible to the public. Frayne's works are enormously helpful for students and enthusiasts first learning about ancient Mesopotamia. Douglas R. Frayne passed away on December 19th, 2017.
