Appendix A: Scholars of first-millennium Assyria

This section of the site gives a prosopography of all scholars known to me from first-millennium Assyria. It was originally designed as an appendix to Ancient Knowledge Networks but given the potential for updates, and for links to publications and sources, it is more suited to online publication.

Still to do: check against PNA 4; links to relevant online texts.

Suggestions, additions and corrections are very welcome and, if used, will be acknowledged here. Please email akno at oracc dot org to contribute.
