Mit Widmung des Autors. - Many thousands Babylonian and Elamite tablets of the Achaemenian period have come into scholarly use within the latest fifty years. Despite of these records Herodotus' History still remains the most important narrative source of our information on the Persian empire and its institutions. Herodotus visited Egypt, Phoenicia, Babylonia and some other Near Eastern countries described by him. He knew no languages, except his native, and during his travels had to rely on what his informants told him through the medium of interpreters. Therefore he is often inaccurate transcribing foreign words and names. He had visited Babylon and described the city from what he saw with his own eyes. This description has been carefully checked against archaeological evidence and proved faithful. However, his knowledge of Babylonian history of the 7th and 6th centuries B.C. (not to mention earlier periods) is lamentable. He heard nothing even about the famous Nebuchadnezzar n (605-562 B.C.). Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Estratto da: Storia della Storiografia.

The earliest cuneiform documents were written at the dawn of civilization, and the latest of them belong to the first century A. D. Cuneiform literature, which had existed for several millennia, was created by many generations of scribes. To use A. Lea Oppenheim's words, the scribe was the central figure of cuneiform civilization. Kings, temples and private persons depended on the service of scribes. But our information about the social position of the Mesopotamian scribe, his activity as bureaucrat and in the service of the community for the recording of contracts is very scanty. We do not have any direct data on the economic situation and social origin of scribes. Also, we do not know if the scribal profession was the chief source of income or if the scribes combined their craft with handicraft, tilling of land and so on. However, one may elucidate these questions though our information is not obvious at first sight. Data on scribes are to be collected little by little from many thousand records. In the Neo-Bobylonian period, almost always the personal names as well as the patronymics of scribes are indicated in the documents compiled by a scribe. And in other documents the same persons are mentioned as contracting parties, witnesses and so on. This makes it possible to compare the various sources with each other and get valuable and in some cases quite unexpected information on the life and activity of the scribes. Unfortunately, it was impossible to give as a supplement to this book the full prosopography of the Babylonian scribes in the first millennium B. C. since such a prosopography, including personal names and patronymics of more than 3000 scribes and with references to the records, would require several hundred pages.
