But by far the largest part of the finds came into the hands of dealers, and so into the museums of Europe and America; and these were published sooner. Thus in 1891 some were reproduced by photography in DE SARZEC’S _Découvertes en Chaldée_ (Paris, E. Leroux), plate 41. These tablets, preserved in the Louvre, were, however, properly presented by the Sultan. A great many thus acquired were published by THUREAU-DANGIN as _Tablettes chaldéennes inédites_ in the _Revue d’Assyriologie_, iv, pp. 69-86 (Paris, E. Leroux, 1897). In the same journal, v, pp. 67-102, 1902, he gave a _Notice sur la troisième collection de tablettes_, and in 1903 published a _Recueil de tablettes chaldéennes_ (Paris, E. Leroux), which gave improved editions of the above. Other articles appeared in the _Revue d’Assyriologie_, iii, pp. 118-46 (1895), iv, pp. 13-27 (1897), and in _Comptes rendus de l’Académie des Inscriptions_ for 1896, by the same writer, pp. 355-61. These works not only made available large numbers of texts, but also gave most important contributions to their understanding. In 1896 H. V. HILPRECHT published three of the tablets in the Imperial Ottoman Museum at Constantinople in his _Old Babylonian Inscriptions_, part II, nos. 124-6 (Philadelphia, _Transactions of the American Philosophical Society_). In _Cuneiform Texts from Babylonian Tablets, etc., in the British Museum_, vols. i, iii, v, vii, ix, x (London, British Museum), copied by L. W. KING, 1896-1900; _Ancient Babylonian Temple Records_, copied by W. R. ARNOLD (New York, Columbia University Press, 1896); _Old Babylonian Temple Records_, are texts copied and discussed by R. J. LAU (New York, Columbia University Press, 1906); _Haverford Library Collection of Cuneiform Tablets or Documents from the Temple Archives of Telloh_, part I, 1905; part II, 1909; part III, 1914 (Philadelphia, J. C. Winston Co.), several hundreds of these texts appeared.
