Overview

This dictionary contains all the words attested in Assyrian texts from the Neo-Assyrian period. Most of the vocabulary comes from Neo-Assyrian and Standard Akkadian, with some Aramaic and Neo-Babylonian entries. The Assyrian-English-Assyrian Dictionary was the first English-Akkadian dictionary ever published, and the new cuneiform edition features words written in the cuneiform script of the Neo-Assyrian period.

Editorial Reviews

From the highly original perspective of built forms and local geography, Weddle’s study reconstructs the lively sex trade of Renaissance Venice in new, broader dimensions. Assembling a rich array of primary sources and offering many maps and images, the book moves beyond the often mentioned, but few, Venetian courtesans to trace the movements and agency of a varied population of women and men in distinctive urban spaces.”

—Elizabeth S. Cohen, York University

“Mapping the spaces of Venice’s early modern sex trade far beyond the official brothel with sensitivity and insight, Saundra Weddle’s book reveals a fresh, illuminating history that puts at center stage both the women and the material qualities of sites of encounter in the city (alleys, bridges, and porticoes).”

—Jane L. Stevens Crawshaw, author of Cleaning Up Renaissance Italy: Environmental Ideals and Urban Practice in Genoa and Venice
