Mikko Luukko: Supplement to SAA I-XXII, Gebunden

Klappentext

The State Archives of Assyria series was conceived in 1985 to make all texts from the royal archives of Nineveh available to both scholarly and lay audiences in the form of critical text editions. After thirty-seven years and twenty-two published volumes, the series has grown into an indispensable research tool and an inexhaustible source of information on the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
The present volume concludes the series and makes available about three hundred further texts from the royal archives discovered or identified after the publication of the appropriate SAA volumes or inadvertently omitted from them. The supplementary texts include letters to the king from scholars, diviners, priests, and governors; oracle queries; treaties; and literary, legal, and administrative texts. Although the new texts are predominantly fragmentary, the volume also contains many long and well-preserved texts as well as numerous joins to previously published tablets.
