Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book demonstrates that the Assyrian language, long considered the linguistic domain of only a few scholars, is accessible to anyone willing to dedicate time to its study. The book includes exercise texts that introduce the reader to the language by way of transliterations with accompanying translations. The texts are arranged in order of complexity and are drawn from various periods of Assyrian history. The author begins with simple texts in the classic Assyrian period and gradually introduces more challenging texts from the Babylonian period and the periods of the later Assyrian dynasties. Grammatical details are woven into the commentary accompanying the text, making the book a useful language-learning resource. While written with the student in mind, the book is also of value to scholars who will appreciate having a collection of some of the most important Assyrian texts in one volume. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
