In the end the city-state of Babylon, under its energetic ruler Hammurabi, intervened. At an opportune moment, Hammurabi struck swiftly, defeated Larsa, and incorporated the southern domains into his own realms, thereby creating an empire that for a short time united the lands of Sumer and Akkad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inscriptions in this volume are grouped by dynasties and arranged in order by ruler within each dynasty. Further, the inscriptions are arranged chronologically within each king's reign. A short introduction for each inscription gives its general contents, place of origin, and relative dating. Also included are a detailed catalogue of exemplars, a brief commentary, bibliography, and text in transliteration facing an English translation. The appended microfiches contain a transliteration of each individual exemplar displayed in a format reminiscent of a musical score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Frayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487572303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Frayne\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Editor with the Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia Project and Assistant Professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Toronto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45352013463667,"sku":"9781487572303","price":128.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_fcff2634-e17a-4cd2-8334-542109c99fcb.jpg?v=1786547808","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/old-babylonian-period-2003-1595-b-c-the-royal-inscriptions-of-mesopotamia-early-periods-volume-iv-9781487572303","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
