This book brings together our present-day knowledge about textile
terminology in the Akkadian language of the first-millennium BC. In
fact, the progress in the study of the Assyrian dialect and its
grammar and lexicon has shown the increasing importance of studying
the language as well as cataloging and analysing the terminology of
material culture in the documentation of the first world empire.
The book analyses the terms for raw materials, textile procedures,
and textile end products consumed in first-millennium BC Assyria.
In addition, a new edition of a number of written records from
Neo-Assyrian administrative archives completes the work. The book
also contains a number of tables, a glossary with all the discussed
terms, and a catalogue of illustrations. In light of the recent
development of textile research in ancient languages, the book is
aimed at providing scholars of Ancient Near Eastern studies and
ancient textile studies with a comprehensive work on the Assyrian
textiles.
