This second volume of Joshua Jeffers and Jamie Novotny’s new and
updated editio princeps of the inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian
king Ashurbanipal provides reliable, up-to-date editions of 169
historical inscriptions of this seventh-century BC ruler, including
all such texts known from clay tablets and presumed from Kuyunjik,
the citadel mound of the Assyrian capital Nineveh. Each text
edition is presented with an English translation, a brief
introduction, a catalogue of basic information about all attested
exemplars, a commentary on further technical information and notes,
and a comprehensive bibliography. This volume includes a general
introduction to sources edited in the volume, a study of
Ashurbanipal’s building activities in Assyria, photographs of
tablets inscribed with texts of Ashurbanipal, indices of museum and
excavation numbers and selected publications, and indices of proper
names. Prepared by a pair of highly qualified philologists and
historians, this modern scholarly edition is the first to translate
into English all the presently known inscriptions of Ashurbanipal
written on clay tablets. It will be a key reference for
Assyriologists for decades to come.
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.
In this book, Jamie Novotny and Joshua Jeffers provide updated,
reliable editions of seventy-one historical inscriptions of
Ashurbanipal, including all historical inscriptions on clay prisms,
clay cylinders, wall slabs, and other stone objects from Nineveh,
Assur, and Kalhu. Each text edition is accompanied by an English
translation, a catalog of all exemplars, a comprehensive
bibliography, and commentary containing notes and technical
information. This volume also contains a general introduction to
the reign of Ashurbanipal, his military campaigns, the corpus of
inscriptions, previous studies, and chronology; translations of the
relevant passages of several Mesopotamian chronicles and king
lists; photographs of objects inscribed with texts of Ashurbanipal;
indexes of museum and excavation numbers, selected publications,
and proper names. This reference work represents a significant
revision of previously published collections and also makes
available a number of unpublished inscriptions. It will be
invaluable to specialists in royal inscriptions and will be of
interest to all scholars of the history and archaeology of the
Ancient Near East.
