[Booknews] Weekly sale, January 31-February 10, 2008: State Archives of Assyria

[James Spinti]

BookNews from Eisenbrauns

Eisenbrauns is having a contest:

Love is in the air! We're looking for a few good scholars to display both eros and erudition in our first (and possibly last!) Ancient Near Eastern Valentines contest.

We want no more than three of your original* compositions, in any ancient Near Eastern language (yes, we'll take Greek, too), accompanied by an English translation. Artwork is similarly welcome. All entries should be sent via e-mail to Andy Kerr (akerr at eisenbrauns dot com) before noon on Wednesday, February 13.

The decisions of the judges will be final and, most likely, extremely arbitrary. Prizes will be given. Winners will be announced on February 14, 2008, and winning entries will be showcased on the Eisenbrauns website. Submitting an entry constitutes permission to reproduce your work.

* We have memorized the entire corpus of Near Eastern poetry, and will be watching for cheating. OK, we haven't — but someone out there will catch you at it if your words are not your own, and that wouldn't be good. So don't.
============================================================

I made an error in the title of one of the books featured Monday, the correct title for the de Groot Festschrift is Ottoman Izmir.
============================================================

The Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project has recently released two new books, with another in press. In light of that, we thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of their older titles. Therefore, we are offering 20% savings on selected titles in the their series The State Archives of Assyria Studies.

As always, all sales on this web sale are final; no returns will be permitted. Offer is good only on orders placed at www.eisenbrauns.com through February 10, 2008.
