I ran across this used “L” volume of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary last week. Totally unlooked for, the price of the book was actually cheaper than the shipping and I don’t regret the purchase one bit.

For those who don’t know, the CAD is a wonderful catalog of virtually every Akkadian word, with notes and examples that go on for pages. The final volume was released last year; the dictionary was over fifty years in the making.

It’s available online, for free, here.

And just so you know, this print volume smells as perfect as you’d expect an old volume of an Akkadian dictionary to smell.
