Old Babylonian Texts in the Schoyen Collection: Part Three. Further Letters (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783949546174)

This volume presents 170 more Old Babylonian letters now in the Schen Collection. None has been published in print before. Each letter is transliterated and translated, with appropriate annotations. Full indexes of proper nouns and a selective index of Akkadian vocabulary are appended. The volume is concluded with full documentation of the cuneiform on 168 plates, in handcopy or photograph. The letters fall into several categories by content: state correspondence, administrative and business letters, and domestic letters. Particularly important are a dossier from the correspondence of Sasiya, a high official in the service of king Sumuel of Larsa, and a collection of letters from the correspondence of king Rim-Sin of Larsa, his courtiers and officials.
