The Royal Inscriptions of Sennacherib, King of Assyria (704–681
BC), Part 2 (Royal Inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Period 3/2)
provides reliable, up-to-date editions of 195 texts of Sennacherib,
as well as 26 other late Neo-Assyrian inscriptions that might
belong to this king and 2 inscriptions of his family (including one
of his wives, Tashmetu-sharrat). The volume contains historical
inscriptions on bull and lion colossi from Nineveh, rock reliefs,
stone horizontal prisms, and clay cylinders and prisms from other
cities under Sennacherib’s authority (especially Ashur and
Tarbisu); epigraphs on reliefs; and inscriptions on bricks,
threshold slabs, door sockets, wall panels, stone blocks, beads,
metal plating (including door bands); and drafts and copies of
historical and building inscriptions written on clay tablets. Each
text edition (with its English translation) is supplied with a
brief introduction containing general information, a catalogue
containing basic information about all exemplars, a commentary
containing further technical information and notes, and a
comprehensive bibliography. RINAP 3/2 also includes: (1) a general
introduction to the corpus of inscriptions and Sennacherib’s
numerous building activities in Assyria (especially construction at
Ashur); (2) several photographs of objects inscribed with texts of
Sennacherib; (3) indices of museum and excavation numbers and
selected publications; and (4) indices of proper names (Personal
Names; Geographic, Ethnic, and Tribal Names; Divine, Planet, and
Star Names; Gate, Palace, Temple, and Wall Names; and Object
Names). The RINAP Project is under the direction of G. Frame
(University of Pennsylvania) and is supported by the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
