The book is a detailed Assyrian-English dictionary that opens a long-running lexicographic project to English readers.

This first volume covers A through Muqqu, offering bilingual translations and scholarly apparatus that help readers understand Assyrian words in context.

The edition presents a historic, scholarly dictionary that grew from early work at Johns Hopkins University. It includes English and German translations for Assyrian words and phrases, with extensive cross-references and citations to related lexicographic sources. The preface explains how the work expanded beyond initial plans and how subsequent parts and supplements were developed to incorporate new material.

Assyrian headword entries with English and German renderings
Notes, references, and cross-links to other lexicographic works
Historical context about the dictionary’s compilation and revisions
Indications of how the text evolved over time and what to expect in later parts

Ideal for students and researchers of Assyriology, Semitic studies, and historical linguistics who want a thorough, if dense, reference to early Assyrian lexicography.
