This study argues that the Assyrian Empire in the year 672 BC is such a case. In 672 BC, Esarhaddon, King of Assyria, imposed a succession covenant (adź) on his subjects, the inhabitants of the Assyrian Empire. This covenant required the empire?s population to monitor one another, and themselves, for signs of disloyalty to the monarch and his chosen successor, Ashurbanipal. This study examines the aims and outcomes, desired and undesired, of imposing this duty of vigilance across the Assyrian Empire. To consider the presentation and implementation of this duty of vigilance, the study draws largely on evidence supplied by the covenant and other royally-commissioned texts. To examine the outcomes of the covenant?s enactment, meanwhile, it explores cuneiform sources, such as letters to the crown, private legal documents, and literary compositions, as well as the Aramaic Story of Ahiqar and the biblical Book of Deuteronomy. By providing a sustained analysis of the real-world implications and outcomes of the covenant, this book sheds new light on a text that fundamentally altered the political makeup of the Assyrian Empire. 410 0$aVigilanzkulturen / Cultures of Vigilance Series 606 $aHISTORY / Ancient / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aHISTORY / Ancient / General. 676 $a935.03 700 $aTushingham$b Poppy$01737386 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996596172303316 996 $aCreating an Empire of Informers$94159094 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01636nas 2200541- 450 001 9910139050003321 005 20241204160034.0 035 $a(OCoLC)843407547 035 $a(CKB)2550000001047987 035 $a(CONSER)--2013201266 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2863173-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)2041945 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001047987 100 $a20130517a20149999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aMolecular therapy$iMethods & clinical development 210 1$aNew York, NY :$cNature Publishing Group,$d[2014]- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$a2329-0501 517 1 $aMolecular therapy.
