Reseña del editor

Excerpt from First Steps in Assyrian: A Book for Beginners Being a Series of Historical, Mythological, Religious, Magical, Epistolary and Other Texts Printed in Cuneiform Characters With Interlinear Transliteration and Translation, and a Sketch of Assyrian Grammar, Sign-List and Vocabulary

For the convenience of the beginner all the Babylonian texts included in this volume have been transcribed into the Assyrian character. It is of the greatest importance for him to become master of the so-called Ninevite script as soon as possible for almost every work found in Ashur-bani-pal's Royal Library at Nineveh is written in it. His Babylonian studies should begin when he is able to read the ordinary Assyrian character with ease.
