Acknowledgments
I am indebted to the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies
(ICREA) for the “ICREA Acadèmia” prize, funded by the Government of Catalo-
nia, which has allowed me to dedicate most of my time to conducting research;
and to the University of Barcelona, for granting me the necessary leave to
undertake my investigations. The present book is the result of a lengthy
project, a large part of which was done at the Institut für Orientalistik in
Vienna, where I was given the warmest of welcomes. I would like to thank the
following persons and institutions for allowing me to cite and quote inscrip-
tions from their collections and for granting me permission to publish the
photos illustrating this edition: The Trustees of the British Museum, London;
the Vorderasiatisches Museum, Berlin; the Yale Babylonian Collections, New
Haven; the St. Louis Public Library, St. Louis; the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cam-
bridge; the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University, Atlanta; and the
Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten, Leiden. Single credits for the
photographs are given in the technical descriptions of each text in the edition.
While studying and editing the inscriptions, I received invaluable help from
M. Civil, E. Darbyshire, N. De Zorzi, J. Eidem, A. Ensesa, J. C. Fincke, E. Frahm,
G. Frame, F. Karahashi, U. Kasten, C. Kaufman, Th. Krispjin, J. Marzahm,
E. Payne, G. Rubio, H.-P. Schaudig, A. Seri, W. van Soldt, J. Taylor, O. M.
Teßmer, C. Terré, C. B. F. Walker, B. M. White and especially M. Jursa, who
accepted the challenge to decipher the Neriglissar cylinder NeglC22 with me,
and J. Vidal who helped with the manuscript in its early stages. Finally, I wish
to express my gratitude to G. Rubio for accepting this study for publication in
SANER and to the anonymous reviewers whose suggestions and corrections
have greatly improved this book. As always, any kind of error of any sort, of
any kind, whatever, is solely my responsibility.
