In this book may be found a complete edition and German translation of the Old Persian texts of the mostly trilingual cuneiform inscriptions of the Persian kings from the Achaemenid dynasty. Only the minor corpora of vase inscriptions and those on seals and weights are passed over, because they are of only narrow historical meaning. The edition presents the transliterated and the transcribed texts in two columns next to each other and beneath them succinct annotations and the translation respectively, which tries to render the original wording as literally as possible. The book starts with a list of all the Achaemenid cuneiform inscriptions (also those written not in Old Persian script and language), that describes the texts in outline and includes the literature relevant for constituting and translating the texts in question.
Der Band enthalt eine vollstandige Ausgabe und deutsche Ubersetzung der altpersischen Versionen der meist dreisprachigen Keilinschriften der Achaimenidenkonige. Nicht berucksichtigt sind wegen ihrer geringen historischen Aussagekraft nur die Gefaa-, Siegel- und Gewichtsinschriften. Die Ausgabe bietet in zwei Spalten den transliterierten und den transkribierten (normalisierten) Text sowie, darunter, knappe Anmerkungen bzw. die (moglichst wortliche) Ubersetzung. Vorangestellt ist ihr eine Liste samtlicher achaimenidischer Keilinschriften, die die Texte stichwortartig beschreibt und die fur Text und Ubersetzung wesentliche Literatur verzeichnet.
