Excerpt from History of Sennacherib: Translated From the Cuneiform Inscriptions But even in this state it was tolerably complete. A few more pages only were required to finish it, and when Mr. B. T. Bosanquet put it into my hands a few weeks ago but little remained for an editor to do in fact, my responsibility does not begin before page 1 54, where Mr. Smith's work came to an abrupt close. The value of this work need not be dwelt upon. The reign of Sennacherib was an important one in the annals of the East, and the theologian, the chronologist, and the historian, ought alike to be grateful for the arrangement, cc-ordination, and translation of the texts which describe it. No doubt passages may occur here and there where the translation has been amended or modified by subsequent research but this must always be the case in a progressive study, and it may be safely said that the general sense remains unaffected. Mr. Smith's wonderful instinct of decipherment carried him safely through sentences which were a puzzle to other scholars. No one, however, was more sensible of the necessary imperfections of his work, and I learn from Mrs. Smith, that while he regretted the want of time which prevented his giving it the thorough revision he hoped, he looked forward to obtaining fresh materials from Assyria which would enable him both to add new matter and to alter what needed correction.

The Royal Inscriptions of Sennacherib, King of Assyria (704–681 BC), Part 1 (Royal Inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Period 3/1) provides reliable, up-to-date editions of thirty-eight historical inscriptions of Sennacherib. The texts edited in RINAP 3/1, which comprise approximately a sixth of the Sennacherib known corpus of inscriptions, were inscribed on clay cylinders, clay prisms, stone tablets, and stone steles from Nineveh; describe his many victories on the battlefield; and record numerous construction projects at Nineveh, including the city’s walls and the “Palace Without a Rival.” Each text edition (with its English translation) is supplied with a brief introduction containing general information, a catalogue containing basic information about all exemplars, a commentary containing further technical information and notes, and a comprehensive bibliography. RINAP 3/1 also includes: (1) a general introduction to the reign of Sennacherib, his military campaigns, his building activities at Nineveh, the corpus of inscriptions, previous studies, and dating and chronology; (2) translations of the relevant passages of several Mesopotamian chronicles and kinglists; (3) several photographs of objects inscribed with texts of Sennacherib; (4) indices of museum and excavation numbers and selected publications; and (5) indices of proper names (Personal Names; Geographic, Ethnic, and Tribal Names; Divine, Planet, and Star Names; Gate, Palace, Temple, and Wall Names; and Object Names). The RINAP Project is under the direction of G. Frame (University of Pennsylvania) and is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
