Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und verwandte Gebiete
A scholarly periodical of Assyriology published in Leipzig in 1886 by the Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft for specialists in ancient Near Eastern languages. Its pages show cuneiform tablet copies, rotated sideways on the page, with transliteration notes beside them, and a third plate shows a dense block of Ethiopic-style script. A designer might take from them the rhythm of dense, repeated wedge-shaped marks set in tidy columns.
