Assyrian and Babylonian Letters Belonging to the Kouyunjik Collections of the British Museum, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Assyrian and Babylonian Letters Belonging to the Kouyunjik Collections of the British Museum, Vol. 5 I have been hampered in this, as in all the preceding volumes, by scratchings and rubbings made upon the Tablets by my predecessors, who have often scratched signs in such a way as to make them read as they thought they should. This makes it impossible to distinguish what the original text really was, and I must add that I cannot accept all of these amended originals. Of course, such treatment of a tablet was thoughtless, to say the least of it. It is also very unfair, as it makes it almost impossible to differ from the person who has thus amended the original. All textual students are very glad, indeed, that such treatment of Tablets is not in vogue at present, and is, in fact, now impossible in the British Museum. The Parts containing the texts of the Letters will, I have every reason to hope, appear more frequently in the future than in the past. Part VI will probably be ready in 1901.
