Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und verwandte Gebiete
A German periodical of Assyriology issued in Leipzig in 1886 by the Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft, written for scholars of ancient Near Eastern languages. Its pictures are pen-and-ink facsimile drawings of cuneiform tablets, with wedge-shaped signs set in horizontal ruled lines and broken tablet edges hatched with fine diagonal strokes, offering a designer a source of dense, rhythmic linear texture and archaic script forms.
