ABSTRACT

Inscriptions of Mesopotamia, that intends to re-edit all inscriptions from the earliest Sumerian to the late Babylonian ones. The volumes published so far cover Sumerian and Akkadian texts from ca. 2350 to 1595 (Edzard 1997; Frayne 1990, 1993, 1997), Assyrian texts from the early second millennium to 745 (Grayson 1987, 1991b, 1996), and Babylonian texts from 1157 to 612 (Frame 1995). The large corpora of texts of the late Assyrian kings remain thus to be edited. Recent individual monographs have dealt with some or all inscriptions of most of these kings, however: Tiglath-Pileser III (Tadmor 1994), Sargon (Fuchs 1993), Sennacherib (Frahm 1997), and Assurbanipal (Borger 1996). A project at the University of Freiburg has re-edited all Sumerian and Akkadian inscriptions of the third millennium (Gelb and Kienast 1990; Steible 1982, 1991).
