Die Altpersischen Inschriften der Achaimeniden: Editio minor mit deutscher Ubersetzung

by Rüdiger Schmitt

This volume contains a complete edition and German translation of the Old Persian texts of the mostly trilingual cuneiform inscriptions of the Persian kings from the Achaemenid dynasty. Only the minor corpora of vase inscriptions and those on seals and weights are not included due to their narrow historical meaning. The edition presents the transliterated and the transcribed texts in two adjacent, with succinct annotations and the translation beneath. The book starts with a list of all the Achaemenid cuneiform inscriptions (also those written not in Old Persian script and language), that describes the texts in outline and includes the literature relevant for constituting and translating the texts in question. German text.
