This volume contains a score-type edition of all known Eponym Lists
and Eponym Chronicles from the Neo-Assyrian period and includes hand
copies of all known tablets plus a catalog of as many eponym-dated
texts as could be collected. It contains explanatory material describing
the manuscripts of the lists and chronicles and the functioning of the
eponym system including a chapter on the post-canonical eponyms by
R. Whiting. The book contains indices of the names and titles found in
the lists and of the excavation, museum, and publication numbers of the
texts cited in the catalog of eponym-dated texts. It is expected to
serve as a standard chronological handbook for the period.
