Adad-šumu-u?ur and his Family in the Service of Assyrian Kings
Original language description
From Neo-Assyrian period, there is preserved a number of texts dealing with different aspects of Assyrian scholarship. A huge amount of these texts related to scholars at the Assyrian royal court date back to the relatively short period, from the reign of kings Esarhaddon and Aššurbanipal, however, it is highly probable that even the other Neo-Assyrian kings regularly received reports and letters from their scholars. Assyrian royal scholars were very respectable and well-educated persons. From the preserved texts it is apparent that the important offices in the king's vicinity were shared only by some privileged families and family relations inside the group of king's closest scholars are documented very frequently. The family of Adad-šumu-u?ur is likely to be the most significant example, because members of this family evidently used to work in the service of Assyrian kings for nearly 250 years.
