This new book succeeds the Assyrisch-babylonische Zeichenliste (AOAT 33/33A; 4th edition, 1988, but out of print since 1995). Unlike its predecessor, "Mesopotamisches Zeichenlexikon" includes information about Old Akkadian as well as providing substantially more help for Sumerian. "Mesopotamisches Zeichenlexikon" will be, like the CAD and AHw an indispensable tool for students and specialists alike; it is an epigraphical handbook that provides entry to the major dictionaries of Akkadian and to the textual material on which they are based. It also makes use of the vocabulary (as in MSL) much easier.
The second, revised edition has made use of the information published between 2003 and 2010, especially the latest volumes of the Assyrian Dictionary of the University of Chicago (CAD), and has been updated by many corrections.
