The library of Nimrud, probably established in 798 BC, was a
prestigious royal foundation whose scribes had contacts all over
the East, particularly with Nineveh. The 259 cuneiform tablets and
fragments which constituted the library mainly described magical
and medical rituals, prayers and instructions for training scribes.
All the epigraphic finds from Sir Max Mallowan's excavations of
1955-7 are described in this volume, with additional material from
the Iraq Archaeological Service's excavations of 1985.
