From 2004 to 2018 the RlA, the leading international reference work on ancient Near Eastern Studies, was published at the Institute of Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the University of Leipzig, funded by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.

At the end of 2018, the 15th and last volume of this century-spanning work was completed. All articles are available as PDF files via a convenient search function on the Reallexikon der Assyriologie website. The website also contains several articles on the history of the project.
