Survey of the Inscribed Objects Included in Part 2

Unlike all of the other volumes in the RINAP series, this book only includes inscriptions written on clay tablets, rather than on a wide range of clay, metal, and stone objects. Like Part 1, however, nearly every text edited in Part 2 originates from, or is generally thought to have come from, Nineveh; two tablets with collections of epigraphs (text nos. 181–182) are presumably from Aššur. Given the varying content and intended purposes of the inscriptions, the size, shape, and format of the tablets themselves differ significantly. The figures provided throughout the book will hopefully illustrate the variety that clay tablets exhibit in size, shape, and format.
