Die Orts- und Gewässernamen der neuassyrischen Zeit

Historical geography is one of the most important disciplines which allow a reconstruction of the history of the Ancient Near East. There are principally the cuneiform sources which open the access to the numerously attested geographical names. The present volumes are the third and last part of the Neo-Assyrian toponyms for the series Répertoire Géographique des Textes Cunéiformes (RGTC 7). The first part was published by the author in 2007 and dealt with the Levant (RGTC 7/1). The Second part RGTC 7/2 (2017) covers Egypt, the Arabian peninsula, the Assyrian heartland, the Transtigridean region, the Northern Jezireh, the Habur-Basin, the Eastern Jezireh, and Northern Mesopotamia. RGTC 7/3 comprises approx. 1400 toponyms and further 500 fragmentary place names from the Eastern regions of the Assyrian empire, Urartu, and Babylonia. Furthermore, places of unknown location were also included. As in the first two volumes, RGTC 7/3 has detailed registers as well as two appendices with additions and corrections to RGTC 7/1 and RGTC 7/2.
