These writings, ranging from lengthy narratives enumerating the deeds of a monarch to labels identifying a ruler as the builder of a given structure, supplement and inform our understanding of the empire. Beginning with a historical introduction to the reigns of these three kings and the corpus of inscriptions, Weiersh舫ser and Novotny then present each text with an introduction, a photograph of the inscribed object, the Akkadian text in a newly collated transliteration, an English translation, catalogue data, commentary, and an updated bibliography. Additionally, Weiersh舫ser and Novotny provide new translations of several related Akkadian texts and chronicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing meticulous yet readable transliterations and translations that have been carefully collated with the originals, this book will be the standard edition for scholars and students of Assyriology, the Neo-Babylonian dialect, and the Neo-Babylonian Empire for decades to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frauke Weiersh舫ser, Jamie Novotny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164602107X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646021079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eisenbrauns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Frauke Weiersh舫ser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45331690094847,"sku":"9781646021079","price":96.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b2adace-ab57-4652-b484-5ec583f95634.jpg?v=1713970631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-royal-inscriptions-of-aml-marduk-frauke-weiershuser-9781646021079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
