Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal of Philology, Vol. 3 Considering the paucity and scantiness of any Accadian inscriptions, such a knowledge might have seemed impossible. Fortunately however the bilingual tablets of Assyrian and Accadian, drawn up by the order of Assur-bani-pal, the son of Essarhaddon, have been preserved in a more or less mutilated condition. Had they come down to us perfect, we should have had, without doubt, a complete grammar of the ancient tongue of Chaldsea. As it is, however, the fragments frequently are broken off just where their preservation would have been of most importance. It is necessary to proceed in gi-eat measure by the help of induction and comparison. Hence I have been compelled to relinquish the design I had originally formed of drawing up a complete Accadian grammar. The gaps and imperfections would have been so numerous that I have judged it my best course to take a single inscription, and to make the philological analysis which I have attached to it the means of setting forth all the facts of Accadian grammar which I have been able to get together. I shall conclude by endeavouring to fix the position of the Accadian among the recognised families of speech, and so to justify such analogies from other languages as I have brought forward in the commentary. The inscription which I have selected is one which, so far as I know, has never yet been published. It differs, also, from the chief part of those with which we are acquainted, in its not being royal. With the exception of the tenth line the characters are very legible.
