“The publication of RINAP 5/1 will without doubt be fundamental for
future research on the reign of Ashurbanipal. The entire RINAP
series has already greatly facilitated Assyriological research and
the physical publication of RINAP 5/2, whose content is largely
already available on ORACC, is eagerly awaited. The reviewer wishes
to thank and congratulate the authors of RINAP 5/1 for their
excellent and diligent work.”—Johannes Bach Journal of Near Eastern
Studies
“RINAP 5/1 is a solid reference tool for one of the largest and
most diverse corpora of royal inscriptions from the first
millennium BC. With its comprehensive introduction, the volume
serves as an excellent point of departure for readers who are about
to start their in-depth exploration into the crucial period not
only of the Neo-Assyrian empire but also of the broader history of
Mesopotamian civilization in the first millennium. For those
already familiar with the corpus, RINAP 5/1 serves as a reminder of
the scale of the source material studied by modern scholars for the
past 150 years.”—Peerapat Ouysook Journal of the American Oriental
Society
“This new volume of Ashurbanipal’s inscriptions, with its ordered,
revised, and improved comprehensive presentation of the texts, will
ease the work of philologists and historians who deal with this
crucial documentation and the placement of royal inscriptions
within a complex system of communication with which various
concordances are available.”—S. Ponchia Archiv für
Orientforschung
“This book is a precious tool for any scholar interested in the
historical context of the latter southern kingdom.”—Bieke Mahieu
Revue Biblique
“[A] splendid volume for studying the reign of Ashurbanipal, one of
the major Assyrian rulers of antiquity.”—Lester L. Grabbe Society
