Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und verwandte Gebiete
This 1886 Leipzig journal of Assyriology, issued by the Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft for scholars of ancient Near Eastern languages, presents cuneiform texts and transliterations in numbered plates. The pages are dense rows of wedge-shaped signs set in tabular columns, some rotated sideways, with ruled borders and handwritten marginal annotations; a designer might borrow their rhythmic, script-like texture as an abstract pattern or background.
