	Assurbanipal - Encyclopedia.com
		Assurbanipal was interested in learning; excavations at Nineveh have uncovered 22,000 clay tablets from his library—the chief sources of knowledge of ancient Mesopotamia.
		Assurbanipal is probably the Asnappar or Osnapper of Ezra 4.10.
		The ritual was recorded on clay tablets from the famous library of King Assurbanipal (668-627 B.C.) at Ninevah in Iraq, and involved incantations and wax and wooden figurines of protective deities.

	Seti Becomes and Ally of Assurbanipal
		Assurbanipal was no longer able to interfere in the affairs of Egypt, and Seti succeeded in overcoming the eleven vice-kings of the nomes and regained the throne of his father.
		Assurbanipal found him in Seti, whose father had been pardoned and crowned by him.
		At that time, in the reign of Assurbanipal, the provinces were ruled more by anarchy than by the will of the despot.

	Assurbanipal, King of the World
		Meanwhile, Assurbanipal had to undertake all the ceremonial and political functions of his office, including acting as high priest for the Assyrian patron god Asur and undertaking the day-to-day administration of the Empire.
		Assurbanipal was proud of his ability to read and write, and sought to exercise these abilities as frequently as possible.
		There was even a means of security in the library; tablets were marked to indicate that any person who would dare to steal from the library's collection would suffer a terrible curse that would wipe him and his descendants from the face of the earth.

	Bibliomaniacs - Assurbanipal (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The earliest documented bibliomaniac in history was Assurbanipal, a king who ruled in ancient Assyria from 668 to 627 BCE.
		Unlike many bibliomaniacs, Assurbanipal was able to use political power to expand his collection as he claimed books and manuscripts as prizes of war, including texts from collections throughout Babylonia (Lerner, 20).
		This early example set the basic structure of the book curse: to name the deed that would incur the curse, to present religious action as a consequence of the action, and to threaten the earthly or spiritual life of the cursed.
