The CAD project was initiated in the early 1920s, not long after
James Henry Breasted founded the Oriental Institute in 1919, and barely
one hundred years after the decipherment of the cuneiform script. This
initial decipherment, and the soon-to-follow achievements in
understanding the languages in which the hundreds of thousands of clay
tablets were inscribed, opened an unsuspected treasure-house for the
study and appreciation of one of the world's oldest civilizations.
The Chicago Assyrian Dictionary was conceived to provide more than
lexical information alone, more than a one-to-one equivalent between
Akkadian and English words. By presenting each word in a meaningful
context, usually with a full and idiomatic translation, it recreates the
cultural milieu and thus in many ways assumes the function of an
encyclopedia. Its source material ranges in time from the third
millennium b.c. to the first century a.d., and in geographic area from
the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Zagros Mountains in the east.
With sixteen of the projected twenty-one volumes published and the
remaining volumes in various stages of preparation, with close to two
million file cards - a database which is continually updated and which
is accessible to scholars and students who wish to consult it - the
Chicago Assyrian Dictionary has become an invaluable source for the
study of the civilizations of the ancient Near East, their political and
cultural history, their achievements in the sciences of medicine,
astronomy, mathematics, and linguistics, and not least the timeless
beauty of their poetry.
