Riekele Borger
Riekele or Rykle Borger (born 1929, Wiuwert, the Netherlands;[1] died 2010, Göttingen, Germany) was a German Assyriologist of Dutch origin.
Most famous for his cuneiform signlists,[2] he also published the important work "Handbuch der Keilschriftliteratur", a detailed overview of all the published books and articles related to Assyriology that were available at the time. Up until his death, Borger was working on an updated version.
His self-study method for Akkadian script and language, "Babylonisch-Assyrische Lesestücke" is, despite its age (1963), still being used and reprinted.[3]
