Seventh century BC collection of the clay tablets assembled by Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria (668-627 BC). This library ie. ca 30 thousands tablets consists in fact of two collections. First, in 1849 Austen Henry Layard discovered tablets in the older SW Palace built by Sennacherib (705–681 BC). Three years late Hormuzd Rassam, Layard's assistant, found similar collection in the Palace of King Ashurbanipal (668–627 BC).
