"The work is highly commendable for its great precision of philological analysis and large scope…[A]n important step forward in the understanding of this very difficult composition." (Orientalistische Literaturzeitung) "In this slender volume Klein vividly portrays the ancient monarch…He is to be warmly congratulated on this excellent work." - Raphael Kutscher (Israel Exploration Journal) "These rich contributions will sharpen and even revolutionize our appreciation of Mesopotamian kingship." (Religious Studies Review)
