HARPER has continued to edit the _Assyrian and Babylonian Letters belonging to the Kouyunjik Collections of the British Museum_, vol. i, 1892; vol. ii, 1893; vol. iii, 1896; vol. iv, 1896; vol. v, 1900; vol. vi, 1902; vol. vii, 1902; vol. viii, 1902; vol. ix, 1909; vol. x, 1911; vol. xi, 1911; vol. xii, 1913; vol. xiii, 1913 (Chicago University Press; Luzac & Co., London), which will contain all the British Museum collections from Nineveh. These copies have been made with the greatest care, and constitute the chief source of this material up to the present time. Numerous works have been built upon them as foundation. CHRISTOPHER JOHNSTON wrote on _The Epistolary Literature of the Assyrians and Babylonians_ (Baltimore, 1898), reprinted from _Journal of the American Oriental Society_. E. BEHRENS published in 1906 his _Assyrisch-babylonische Briefe kultischen Inhalts aus der Sargonidenzeit_ (Leipzig, Pries, 1905). LEHMANN-HAUPT gave _Zwei unveröffentlichte Keilschrifttexte_ in _Hilprecht Anniversary Volume_ (1909), pp. 256-8. In 1910 came M. ZEITLIN’S _Le style administratif chez les Assyriens; choix de lettres assyriennes et babyloniennes, transcrites, traduites et accompagnées de notes_ (Paris, Geuthner). In the _Zeitschrift für Assyriologie_ C. BEZOLD gave _Zwei assyrische Berichte_ (vol. xxvi, 1912, p. 114-25). In 1911, E. G. KLAUBER wrote _Zur babylonisch-assyrischen Briefliteratur_ in _Babyloniaca_, iv, pp. 180-86; and in 1912 _Zur Politik und Kultur der Sargonidenzeit: Untersuchungen auf Grand der Brieftexte_ in the January and July numbers of vol. xxviii of the _American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures_. In the January number of this volume also appeared L. WATERMAN’S _Textual Notes on the Letters of the Sargon Period_. A most valuable contribution to an obscure period of Ashurbanipal’s reign was made by H. H. FIGULLA, _Der Briefwechsel Bêlibni’s: Historische Urkunden aus der Zeit Asurbanipals_, in _Mitteilungen der Vorderasiatischen Gesellschaft_ (Leipzig, Hinrichs, 1912). E. G. KLAUBER, in 1910, published _Assyrisches Beamtentum nach Briefen aus der Sargonidenzeit_ (Leipzig, Hinrichs), and in _Der alte Orient_, xii, Heft 2, _Keilschriftbriefe: Staat und Gesellschaft in der babylonisch-assyrischen Briefliteratur_ (Leipzig, Hinrichs, 1911). V. SCHEIL under the title _Diplomatica_ dealt with similar texts in the _Hilprecht Anniversary Volume_, pp. 873 ff. Letters of the Neo-Babylonian period are numerous but not much published. R. C. THOMPSON published _Late Babylonian Letters_ (London, Luzac & Co., 1906) with translations, &c. FR. MARTIN gave _Lettres néo-babyloniennes_ (Paris, Champion, 1909), and _Trois lettres néo-babyloniennes_ in the _Hilprecht Anniversary Volume_, 1909. In the _Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology_, 1911, pp. 157-8, T. G. PINCHES published _Two late Babylonian Letters_. NOTES
