The Royal Inscriptions of Sennacherib, King of Assyria (704–681 BC), Part 1

A comprehensive compilation of 195 royal inscriptions from the reign of Sennacherib, King of Assyria (704–681 BC), alongside 28 additional Neo-Assyrian texts, provides unprecedented access to historical and architectural records. These inscriptions, sourced from Nineveh, Ashur, Tarbisu, and other sites under Assyrian rule, include colossal bull and lion reliefs, rock carvings, stone prisms, clay cylinders, and epigraphs on everyday objects like bricks and metalwork. Each text is meticulously edited with English translations, supported by introductory context, catalogues, detailed commentaries, and extensive bibliographies. The volume also features photographs of inscribed artifacts, indices for names and references, and a broad analysis of Sennacherib's construction projects, particularly in Ashur. This work offers a robust framework for understanding Neo-Assyrian governance, artistry, and historical documentation.
