Preface

The volume editors first wish to thank Simo Parpola and Robert Whiting for many new insights, corrections and observations contributed in the course of the preparation of this volume, over and above their substantial routine editorial work on its production. The detailed distribution of work between the volume and the series editors is noted below, pp. XXXVII-XL.

Tuviah Kwasman had worked on the ADD II material before we started to collate it for our edition. He had made several joins, and communicated to us a list of similar fragments identified by him among the high K numbers. We are very grateful to him for his generous collaboration.

As with all SAA volumes, a considerable debt is owed to the staff of the Department of Wes tern Asiatic Antiquities of the British Museum: for their hospitable and efficient service in the Students' Room, and for their help in selecting and producing photographs, for both the illustrations and the Plates of tablets. To them, and to the Trustees of the museum, we are indebted for permission to publish these illustrations and the copies of hitherto unpublished fragments. We have also been very fortunate to receive help from fellow denizens of the Students' Room: A. R. George, S. Herbordt, and W. G. Lambert.

We would like to thank most warmly Mrs. R. Maxwell-Hyslop and Prof. Dr. B. Hrouda, both of whom have allowed us to use drawings from a book of theirs. Sincere thanks also go to Dr. G. Herrmann and P. Dorrell, for help with the illustrations, and to Trinity College, Cambridge, which has given much material assistance towards the expenses of the edition, notably by meeting the editors' travelling costs on more than one occasion.
