W. F. Saggs. Nevertheless, his long-awaited edition of the entire corpus, which appeared in 2001, left a great deal of room for improvement. This critical edition, based on careful study of the originals in the British Museum and the historical background of the letters, clarifies a host of problems and details pertinent to the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III in particular, and for the first time makes this extraordinary collection of letters completely accessible to the historian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890984206487,"sku":"9789521013386","price":10395.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789521013386.webp?v=1781181928","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-correspondence-of-tiglath-pileser-iii-and-sargon-ii-from-calah-nimrud-9789521013386","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
