|  | Sumerian Hymns from Cuneiform Texts in the British Museum by Frederick Vanderburgh
Vanderburgh’s noted study of the Sumerian hymns to Bel, Sin, Adad, and Tammuz in the British Museum is an excellent example of one of the early attempts to grapple with the difficulties of the Sumerian language. Each hymn is presented in transliteration and translation, and these are accompanied by the author’s own commentary. |

This reprint of Anspacher’s seminal work on the reign of Tiglath Pileser III is the historic first attempt to provide a succinct account of the reign of this Assyrian king. Tiglath Pileser III, known from several biblical texts, marked the beginning of the powerful Neo-Assyrian Empire. Anspacher presents, in an accessible format, the information known at the time about Tiglath Pileser’s accession, his southern and western expansions into Media, Urartu, and Syria, as well as his conquest of Babylonia. For the more technical reader, an introductory chapter on the sources behind Tiglath Pileser’s reign is included.
Abraham Samuel Anspacher (1877-1927) was a Rabbi in Scranton and Hazelton, Pennsylvania. He earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
