THE BABYLONIAN EXPEDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA SERIES A: CUNEIFORM TEXTS de Langdon, Stephen; H. V. Hilprecht, Editor - 1914

Munich (München): Rudulf Merkel, 1914. First Edition. Soft cover. Collectible Fair. 1st printing. 4to printed wraps. 80pps plus all plates (51 plates of "Autograph Texts and 3 plates of Halftone Illustrations). Part of Volume XXXI, Historical and Religious Texts from the Temple Library of Nippur. Please note this: this copy is disbound with the paper covers detached and some signatures separated from other because of broken threads. The front cover has minor chips and tears and the back cover with a couple of larger chips and tears. Very scarce in the first edition. Also please note that the text is uncut, meaning adjoining pages within a given signature are joined and therefore the copy is unread. Pages may be easily separated with the right tool/knife, but of course must be carefully done. There would be added labor cost if the buyer wishes me to do this work. Almost all copies of this for sale is in modern reprint form. This first edition very scarce.
