The period between the accession of Nabonasser, in 747 B.C.E., and
the accession of Nabopolasser, in 625 B.C.E., was a period of
significant stability for the city of Babylon, due in large part to
the projection of Assyrian power in the region. During this
transitional period, increased economic activity throughout
Babylonia resulted in an increase in the amount of written
evidence. And the legal and administrative texts that have thus far
come to light are, in the words of J. A. Brinkman, "a mine of
information for researchers interested in demography, social
institutions, economic history, and even ancient technology." In
this volume, John Nielsen provides an index of the personal names
found on texts from this period. As such, the index is a valuable
supplement to the Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire project
(Helsinki). Information presented in the book is modeled on the
Helsinki project's publications. The index includes comprehensive
cross-references to the CAD, Stamm's Namengebung, the Helsinki PNAE
indexes, Hoelscher's Personennamen, and Knut Tallqvist's
Neubabylonisch Namenbuch. Nielsen's prosopographical index adds a
major new resource to the study of the Neo-Babylonian period.
