Ois book completes the publication of the previously unpublished pencil drawings of cuneiform tablets and other inscriptions made by the late W.  G.  Lambert and found among his academic papers aQer his death. To the three hundred and twenty- nine texts presented in Part One in 2019, this second volume adds another three hundred and twenty- three. Together with the one hundred and sixty- eight drawings from Lambert’s hand published in Babylonian Creation Myths (2013), they bring the total Cgure of his posthumous contribution to Assyriology to eight hundred and twenty handcopies of cuneiform texts. Oe twin volumes of Cuneiform Texts from the Folios of W. G. Lambert stand as a colossal tribute to the achievements of an extraordinary scholar, but they are more than just a personal monument. Very many of these texts are published for the Crst time and so form a substantial resource for continuing their author’s lifelong work, the reconstruction of the literature, religion, and intellectual achievement of the ancient Babylonians and Assyrians. As in the previous volume, the contents are orga-nized by genre, reRecting Lambert’s decades of study in all areas of Babylonian scholarship. First, omen litera-ture, especially Šumma ālu, which Lambert proposed to edit early in his career, before yielding the Celd to the late Erle Leichty (Nos. 330–37); then genres associated with divinatory rituals, both tāmītus, adding to those Lambert treated in Babylonian Oracle Questions (2007), and ikribs, which he intended to edit in a companion volume, never realized but now expected from Ulla Koch (Nos. 338–400); a traditional text on the taboos of the gods, together with its commentary, which Lambert

handed over to the late lamented Alasdair Livingstone (Nos. 401–7); the aluzinnu compendium, a scribal par-ody of many genres of Babylonian scholarship, which is now being prepared for publication by Enrique Jiménez (Nos. 408–34); theological and religious texts, copied in preparation for Lambert’s magnum opus on god- lists (Nos. 435–51); lexical lists, especially those that col-lected the names of deities (Nos. 452–78); and Cnally the god lists themselves, which are here sorted into three groups: lists of the Old Babylonian period (Nos. 479–84), the Great God List An = Anum and related lists (Nos. 485–543), the elementary pedagogical text Anum, oQen known as the Weidner list (Nos. 544–620), and miscella-neous god lists of the Crst millennium that appear not to be part of An = Anum or the Weidner list (Nos. 621–35); these now form a pillar of the God Lists of Ancient Meso-potamia project at the University of Jena. To these are added a small miscellany of cuneiform texts of several genres, some in public collections (Nos. 636–44), and others not (Nos. 645–52). Oese last are handcopies of tablets that do not bear a number or any other identiCca-tion and whose current whereabouts are thus unknown. As in Part One, the texts in this volume are over-whelmingly from the collections of the British Museum, but museums in Baghdad, Berlin, Chicago, Geneva, Istanbul, Jerusalem, New Haven, Oxford, Paris, Phila-delphia, Tokyo, Toronto, and Washington are also repre-sented. To the authorities and curatorial staS of all these museums, who gave Lambert permission to make and publish handcopies of objects in their care, we express our gratitude and appreciation. For the moment no credit can be given for Lam-bert’s drawings of cuneiform inscriptions that are now

of unknown location. Such drawings are very rare in the Nachlass. Lambert made them during his years of iden-tifying many thousands of cuneiform tablets and other objects for various dealers of antiquities in London. It is likely that the objects he copied then are now in pri-vate collections. We hope that at some time in the future they will surface and be available for further study. In the meantime we trust that any curious collectors who dis-cover in this volume drawings of antiquities in their cus-tody will appreciate that Lambert’s handcopies are too valuable as additions to scientiCc knowledge to remain out of circulation. As in the previous volume, a small number of the drawings published here had already been inked by Lam-bert himself: Nos. 405, 453, 473 (K 9244), 520, 543 obv., 569, 621, 644, 648, 651–52. One drawing is a Cnal legacy of Henry Buglass’s digital work for Babylonian Creation Myths: No. 442. Oe remaining handcopies were scanned and inked digitally by the editors. George was respon-sible for Nos. 331–32, 334–35, 337, 339, 395–96, 400, 402–4, 406–7, 438–40, 443–44, 446–47, 450–51, 454–60, 465–72, 474–519, 521–41, 542 rev., 543 rev., 545–47, 549, 551–52, 556, 559, 561, 574–77, 579–81, 583, 588–90, 593, 598–600,

605, 610, 616–17, 619–20, 622–35, 642, 645, 650. Tanigu-chi inked Nos. 330, 333, 336, 338, 340–94, 397–99, 401, 408–37, 441, 445, 448–49, 452, 461–64, 473 (K 7722), 542 obv., 544, 548, 550, 553–55, 557–58, 560, 562–68, 570–73, 578, 582, 584–87, 591–92, 594–97, 601–4, 606–9, 611–15, 618, 636–41, 643, 646–49. Oe catalogue that precedes the cuneiform plates draws on pencil annotations made by Lambert on the original folios, which are quoted as appropriate, but, as with Part One, it is essentially the work of the Crst- named editor. Various scholars were gracious enough to answer questions that arose during the compiling of it, and their generosity is acknowledged here in a brief roll- call: Yoram Cohen, Nicla De Zorzi, Jeanette Fincke, Grant Frame, Ann Guinan, Wayne Horowitz, Ami Huang, Hermann Hunger, Enrique Jiménez, Michael Jursa, Ulla Koch, Jon Taylor, Konrad Volk, and Cornelia Wunsch. None of these kind individuals is responsible for any of the catalogue’s shortcomings.

644. BM 99042 (Ki 1904-10-9, 71), supposedly exca-vated at Nineveh by King in 1904 but certainly a stray. A fragment of a barrel cylinder, inscribed in archaizing Babylonian script. King (1914: 19 no. 107) proposed that it was a building “inscrip-tion of an Assyrian king, probably Esarhad-don.” Borger (1956: 120 §105) pointed out that this was improbable, given the presence of the name of Nebuchadnezzar (l. 5′). Leichty (2011: 313 no. 1030) suggested that “it should probably attributed to Nebuchadnezzar II.” Since the name Nebuchadnezzar is not followed by his titulary, Nabonidus is perhaps a better candidate.
