East (in 2 parts), is available here. A workshop volume is

This is the sixth volume of Babel und Bibel, an annual of ancient
Near Eastern, Old Testament, and Semitic studies. The principal
goal of the annual is to reveal the inherent relationship between
Assyriology, Semitics, and biblical studies-a relationship that our
predecessors comprehended and fruitfully explored but that is often
neglected today. The title Babel und Bibel is intended to point to
the possibility of fruitful collaboration among the three
disciplines, in an effort to explore the various civilizations of
the ancient Near East. The tripartite division of Babel und Bibel
corresponds to its three principal spheres of interest: ancient
Near Eastern, Old Testament, and Semitic studies. Contributions are
further subdivided into articles, short notes, and reviews.
Highlights of this volume include several studies on Akkadian
language, Mesopotamian literature, and publication of inscriptions
in some Russian museums (in the ancient Near Eastern section);
studies on negative markers in Semitic and on Aramaic language (in
the Semitics section); and some significant review essays on
important new publications, especially in Hebrew language, Aramaic,
Hurrian, Lycian, Egyptian, and Syriac.
