Cuneiform royal inscriptions and related texts in the Schøyen Collection

This is a collection of 107 new royal cuneiform sources that spans most of the written history of Mesopotamia, from the early Dynastic to the Achaemenid periods, and includes associated areas of Elam and Urartu. These are inscriptions on tablets, seals, and incantations bowls collected in the late 1980s and 1990s which derive from a great variety of collections. Each text is provided with full discussion of its contents accompanied by transliteration, translation, copy and photos. The photos are also available on the CDLI and Cornell University websites, where closer scrutiny of the individual tablets is possible.
