Collations to Neo-Assyrian Legal Texts from Nineveh Paperback / softback
by S Parpola
Part of the ASSUR series
Paperback / softback
Description
Legal texts from the imperial archives of Nineveh are a source of foremost importance not only to the study of the legal practices and economic life of the Neo-Assyrian empire, but above all to the prosopography and chronology of the period.
Yet their information potential has never been fully utilized, mainly because the texts can only be consulted through two outdated publications, C.H.W.
Johns's Assyrian Deeds and Documents and A. Ungnad's and J.Kohler's Asyrische Rechtsurkunden. In anticipation of a re-edition of the texts, whose completion still lies years ahead, the present article offers collations to about 300 texts of the corpus providing, besides numerous improvements to the copies of Johns, also a touchstone for earlier collations by Ungnad and others.
