 State Archives of Assyria Bulletin
|
|
State Archives of Assyria Bulletin (SAAB)
is published twice a year as an international forum for discussion
on Assyria and Assyrian texts. The journal is concerned with articles illustrating
the history, philology and linguistics of the texts stemming from the
ancient Assyrian state archives, and any related topic. The journal
was conceived as part of the Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project
and was originally intended to supplement the SAA series of text publications by
offering a vehicle for the publication of new texts and of detailed
commentary on texts or text genres that would be out of place in the
format established for the SAA volumes. SAAB quickly outgrew these
narrow limitations and now accepts articles on any topic relating to
Assyria in its largest sense, including philology, history, geography
and archaeology.
Although a part of the Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project,
SAAB’s Editorial Board is completely autonomous and makes all decisions
concerning the acceptability of contributions, scheduling, and financing
for the journal. Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be
submitted to the journal’s Editor or Assistant Editor and may be in any
major Western language.
