The letters edited in this volume represent the correspondence of
various priests and high temple officials in the Assyrian realm
during the third through fifth decades of the seventh century BC.
They consist chiefly of reports to Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal
about cultic concerns and matters connected with the construction
and renovation of temple edifices in the major cities of the
Assyrian empire, both in the heartland and in the provinces. These
fascinating letters throw light on the buildings, refurbishment,
and maintenance of temples, the fashioning and installation of
statues of the king, the provisioning of the cult, the performance
of sacrifices, the rite of sacred marriage, and the processions of
divine images.
