Abbreviations for Assyriology [CDLI Wiki]

The CDLI Wiki keeps a very helpful list of the many abbreviations used in Assyriological publications. If you're using the PDF version of the CAD, this is often a easier method of looking up source abbreviations.

ARCHIBAB

This website includes bibliography of the Mari texts along with photos and transcriptions of the some of the texts themselves. The website is often slow, but it very helpful when doing research on Mari.

Hittite

Hittite Grammar Homepage

I don't actual know Hittite, but here is a grammar that I have come across.

Akkadian

Knowledge and Power in the Neo-Assyrian Empire

This site is great for a number of reasons. It represents work centered around the State Archives of Assyria (SAA) volumes that published the royal correspondences of the Neo-Assyrian empire. This site provides a nice synopsis of the Akkadian language, provides a helpful way to learn cuneiform, and provides access to a number of ancient texts themselves. (Note: There is still an unresolved issue with the cuneiform fonts [at least for Windows]).

Assyrian Grammar with Chrestomathy and Glossary

This nice grammar and Chrestomathy make for good practice if one is trying to keep one's Akkadian and Cuneiform from getting to rusty.
