In his book The Nimrud Letters, 1952 (= Cuneiform Texts from Nimrud 5, 2001), H. W. F. Saggs offered improved cuneiform hand copies of most of the letters that he had already previously published in a series of articles. Those texts that could be attributed to the reign of Sargon II had been edited on the basis of these earlier copies in SAA 1 (1987; nos. 1, 26, 32, 171), SAA 5 (1990; nos. 74 and 215) and SAA 15 (2001; nos. 83 and 84).
Updated editions of these letters, by Mikko Luukko, are available
on State Archives of
Assyria online [/saao/corpus]. A document that details how they differ
from the print editions in SAA 1, 5 and 15 can be downloaded here [/saao/aebp/downloads/saa19_updates.pdf]
(requires free Adobe Acrobat reader).
