Based on Daniel C. Snell's original workbook and informed by his
decades of teaching, this new and improved textbook provides an
introductory course in basic cuneiform signs. Using a method of
repetition that asks the student to actively produce the signs as
well as passively read them, it efficiently teaches more than one
hundred basic signs in their Neo-Assyrian forms, all of which have
been chosen for their recurrence and usefulness to the student. The
workbook includes instructions and drills, frequent quizzes to
reinforce retention, and notes that both provide context about the
ancient cultures that used cuneiform and introduce modern scholarly
conventions. Designed for beginning students of cuneiform languages
and cultures, A New Workbook of Cuneiform Signs is an easy and
intuitive way to learn cuneiform. It is a valuable resource for
students and teachers alike.
