Extract

With this article are presented the inscriptions upon nine fragments of tablets belonging to the royal library of the Assyrian kings which was found at Nineveh, its remains being now in the British Museum (and the writer is indebted to the Trustees for permission to publish these specimens). He had already taken the liberty to quote from them in the course of his Inaugural Lecture at the School of Oriental and African Studies, and it is therefore appropriate to include them in a volume in honour of Professor Sir Ralph Turner, Director of the School, whose great services will be more fittingly celebrated by others, but the present writer gladly uses this opportunity to testify his gratitude for many acts of personal kindness, of which the Director's presence and publicly-expressed approval on the aforesaid occasion were not the least appreciated.

page 255 note 1 By Professor A. Falkenstein of Heidelberg, , ‘Der “Sohn des Tafelhauses”’, Die Welt des Orients, I, 172–86.Google Scholar The ‘K’ fragments are listed there on p. 173, n. 7, together with a number of others in the Berlin collection. Of these two were already noted as published, one more has since appeared in E. Ebeling, Literarische Keilschrifttexte cms Assur, no. 65, and it may be suspected that no. 66 in that book, there designated VA.T. 10843, is the same as VA.T. 13843 in Falkenstein's list, assuming a printer's error in one place or the other. This leaves VA.T. 7853 and BE. 35882 still unpublished; for some information about the contents of the latter see Falkenstein, loc. cit., 184, and his essay ‘Die babylonische Schule’ in Saeculum, IV, 2, p. 132,Google Scholar with n. 28.
