Assyrian Grammar With Paradigms Exercises Glossary And Bibliography

Excerpt from Assyrian Grammar: With Paradigms Exercises Glossary and Bibliography The present work is intended to be of use not only to Assyriologists but to Semitic scholars generally, by presenting them, in as brief compass as possible, with a summary of the latest results of research in the department of Assyrian grammar. In return, it appeals not merely or chiefly to Assyriologists but to every Semitic scholar for their co-operation in the solution of numerous unsolved problems, some of which, at least, are of the utmost importance for comparative Semitic philology. Its aim is thus the same as that of my "Assyrisches Handworterbuch" (Leipzig, Hinrichs 1889)the compilation of which has become possible by the appearance of this grammar. My larger dictionary, which is also of the nature of a concordance, will he continued without interruption and with renewed energy. The brevity of the Chrestomathy may appear strange. But even had I extended it to many times the size, it would still have been practically useless. For acquiring familiarity with Assyrian literature, even as represented by the so-called historical texts, and with the monuments of the Old and New Babylonian empires, not to speak of the so-called Sumerian texts, it is indispensable to have a much more comprehensive table of characters on the one hand, and on the other, a more extended chrestomathy such as my "Assyrische Lesestiicke."
