New ISAW Library Titles: July 2017

A list of books added to the ISAW Library in July 2017 is now available online on the ISAW Library website. The titles are sorted in the website version according to thematic topics (e.g., "East Asia" and "Ancient Near East & Asia Minor"); and within each topic, the titles are organized according to Library of Congress classification. The authors and titles of works in non-Roman languages are given in their original script. This list is also available in a Zotero library and as a browsable map created using Google Fusion Tables. [Update, February 2021: Our new map interface is now live. The July 2017 map is available here.]

The 182 volumes added to the library's collection in July include the work of two of ISAW's own students: Jonathan Valk and Andrea Trameri's translation of Mario Liverani's Assyria: The Imperial Mission (Small Collection DS71 .L76 2017). Congratulations to Jonathan and Andrea on this publication!

Also in July's new additions are a number of papyrological and ephigraphical publications, including:

  • The latest volume of The Oxyrhynchus papyri, volume 81 (Large Collection PA3315.O83 O86 1898 v. 81)

July's new titles also included a number of publications on the Ancient Near East from the library of David I. Owen, the archaeology of the northern Black Sea region from the library of Aleksandr Leskov, and materials on China and South Asia from the library of Susan L. Beningson. 

As always, the titles added to the ISAW Library for the entire academic year may be found both on our website and in our Zotero library. You can also follow our progress on Facebook and Twitter.
