Product Description

This fifth extract from Sayce's "Origin and Growth of Religion", the topic turns to the sacred books of the Babylonians. Beginning with the Chaldean Rig-Veda, collections of hymns identified from the earliest days of Assyriology, Sayce also considers the earlier, less developed magical texts. Future considerations - sin, the status of heaven and Hades, and cosmology finish out the essay.
