The goal of the Royal Lexicography project is to provide digital access to all cuneiform lexical texts (ancient dictionaries) in the royal library of Assurbanipal (668- ca 630 BCE) at Nineveh (modern Mosul), by linking digital images of the cuneiform tablets with transliterations, translations, and glossaries.
