This book analyzes 19th century Assyrian letters, whose authors were predominately scribes of the Sargon dynasty, while 100 or fewer may have been written by the king himself. The letters are considered significant as they demonstrate the late development of the epistolary genre in Ancient Near Eastern literature. They offer valuable insights into the political, social, and cultural history of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, shedding light on aspects of everyday life and the social customs of the time period. The author provides a compendium of letters, translated and transcribed, that are not only historically significant, but also serve as valuable linguistic source material.
