Description

Assyrian royal scribes kept detailed records of the epoch-making campaigns and achievements of Tiglath-pileser III (r. 745-727 BCE), founder of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The fragmentary remains of these inscriptions were found out at Nimrud in 1845, but most of them were lost or reburied, leaving later scholars to depend on critically mistaken editions.

In preparing his new edition, Hayim Tadmor returned to first-hand copies of the texts, many of them prepared on the website online. Their evidence is supplemented by related inscriptions found out at Nimrud and somewhere else. The transcribed Akkadian text is accompanied by a important apparatus, an English translation and an extensive philological and historical statement. The introductory material, excursuses and supplementary studies treat a panoply of scholarly issues in relation to the texts, including their historical and biblical context. Copious plates show the cuneiform texts in full and illustrate their positions within the original settings.
