The Kuyunjik collection fragments (British Museum K., Sm., Rm. and DT numbers)

Not kept here. This copy isn't ours to show. See it where it's published.

Tens of thousands of tablets and fragments from the libraries of Nineveh (Kuyunjik), excavated between 1849 and the 1930s and the core of first-millennium Akkadian literature and scholarship. Most are broken, and the eBL Fragmentarium's photography and matching campaign since 2018 is directed chiefly at joining them; the 2024 Maqlû test found three unidentified manuscripts among them (K.18050, Sm.1215, Sm.1852).
