- Researched and written over 12 years, this 338-page monograph includes an Introduction, 5 substantive chapters and a Conclusion. Research for the book entailed designing and populating a 100,000 word open-access online corpus of Akkadian and Sumerian cuneiform texts in transliteration and English translation. Methodologically it draws on the disciplines of Assyriology, archaeology, the history of the book and the history and sociology of science. The author travelled extensively to specialist libraries and museum collections across the Middle East, Europe and North America to work with rare sources. The extensive bibliography (pp. 272-302) cites materials in English, French and German.
