Rykle Borger is a German Assyriologist of Dutch origin. He is most famous for his cuneiform signlists. Another important work is his "Handbuch der Keilschriftliteratur" which is basically a list of all the published books and articles related to Assyriology at that time. Nowadays Borger is still working on an updated version. A Self-study method for Akkadian script and language "babylonisch-Assyrische Lesestücke"" is, despite its age (1963), still being used and reprinted.
