solid bound in cloth and fine, vols 7 and 8 are comprised of 4 small

bindings of the earlier publications. The coverage of the Reallexikon 
der Assyriologie... embraces those ancient Near Eastern cultures 
which used the cuneiform script (Mesopotamia, North Syria and 
Anatolia) together with neighbouring regions in the 4th to the 1st 
millennia B.C. Entries include important personalities (rulers, 
scholars, administrators etc.), deities, ancient place names and 
modern archaeological sites, as well as cultural items and concepts 
(e.g. "house", "purchase", "literature", "mathematics", "milk"), 
which are treated from both philological and archaeological 
standpoints, as appropriate. The articles appear alphabetically under 
their German heading, but may be in German, English or French. They 
may be accompanied by illustrations, diagrams and plans. The 
Reallexikon is addressed to specialists within its own field, but 
also to historians, theologians, anthropologists, legal historians 
and others. It does not draw on any predecessor and has established 
itself internationally as an indispensable work tool. The Reallexikon 
is planned to appear in 16 volumes, 11 have been published to date. 
We offer here 6 of the first 7 volumes at a bargain price - these 
volumes are in print at $300-$500 apiece; the combined in-print cost 
of these 6 volumes is circa $2500.
