Neo-Assyrian royal grants and decrees

The following pages present an edition of a group of texts which were for the most part published by Johns, in Assyrian Deeds and Documents, and edited by Ungnad (and Kohler) in Assyrische Rechtsurkunden, Nos. 1-30. These texts were recopied and were given a new transliteration of each, with notes and a discussion of the non-philological problems. The author finds two main reasons for presenting this study. The first is the fair number of correction which should be made to the initial collection of the Niniveh Texts. The second is the lack of an adequate study of this group of documents. An attempt to discuss the nature of the takes mentioned is made in the second volume written by Postgate on this subject
