This is the final installment in a tripartite critical edition of
the inscriptions of the last major Neo-Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal,
and the members of his family. The Royal Inscriptions of the
Neo-Assyrian Period 5/3 provides reliable, up-to-date editions and
English translations of 106 historical inscriptions written in the
Akkadian and Sumerian languages. These inscriptions account for all
certainly identifiable and positively attributable inscriptions of
Ashurbanipal discovered in Babylonia, in the East Tigris Region,
and outside of the Assyrian Empire, together with inscriptions of
some members of Ashurbanipal’s family—his wife
Libbāli-šarrat, as well as his sons and successors
Aššur-etel-ilāni and Sîn-šarra-iškun—and loyal officials.
Each text edition is accompanied by an English translation, brief
introduction, catalogue of exemplars, commentary, and bibliography.
In addition to a critical introduction to the sources, RINAP 5/3
also includes relevant studies of various aspects of
Ashurbanipal’s reign and the final years of the Assyrian Empire;
translations of the “Chronicle Concerning the Early Years of
Nabopolassar” and the “Fall of Nineveh Chronicle”;
photographs of objects inscribed with texts of Ashurbanipal,
Aššur-etel-ilāni, and Sîn-šarra-iškun; indexes of museum and
excavation numbers and selected publications; and indexes of proper
names. Expertly prepared by three leading philologists, this
eagerly awaited work will be a key reference for Assyriologists,
Near Eastern historians, biblical scholars, and scholars of ancient
languages for decades to come.
