| Sumario: | In 1912, Baron Max von Oppenheim found the remains of the archives of the governor Mannu-ki-Aššur (max. 808-764) on the citadel of the Neo-Assyrian provincial capital Guzana (modern Tall Halaf). A first adaptation of the texts by Ernst F. Weidner appeared in 1940 in the sixth booklet of the Archive for Orient Research. The present revision by Aron A. Dornauer takes into account the knowledge that has grown since then and places the texts in the socio-historical context of a phase in which Assyria integrated the conquered Upper Mesopotamia into the provincial system of the emerging Assyrian-Upper Mesopotamian territorial state. The administrative documents and letters document grain, large and small livestock for taxes and personnel for civil and military labor. Infantrymen and slingers, chariots and auxiliary troops as well as the entourage are dug up and equipped with weapons, armaments, equidae and provisions. Gold and envoys from the west are passed through Guzana; People are accused of breaking the law; Rituals are organized. In addition to communication within the province, the texts document communication between the provincial administration and royal offices in Kalhu, with officials from neighboring provinces and magnates such as the "turtanu", for whom the provincial administration had to provide chariots and troops. The letter format, script usage and style differ from the more recent texts from Nineveh, Kalhu and Assur. A peculiarity of the introduction of the "turtanu" and Mannu-ki-Aššur letters documents that in the first half of the 8th century it was not only the magnates who acquired royal prerogatives. |
