 | | It was in this fourth year of Psamtik II and Amenemope that Assurbanipal (then in his Year 3) defeated Shamash-shuma-ukin and installed a new king, Kandalanu (Assur-etil-ana?/Anlamani?) in Babylon. | | | His opponent is thought to have been one Anlamani (Kandalanu?), evidently either a local identity of Assurbanipal or that of one of his sons/allies. | | | The initial typecasting of Assurbanipal was based on his Egyptian name of Smendes (II). |

| | 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). | | | Later bibliomaniacs were not as politically powerful as Assurbanipal but they also build substantial collections. |
