Product Description

This book presents new translations of Mesopotamian and ancient Near Eastern historiographic texts, providing the reader with the primary sources for the history of the ancient Near East. It is a primary source book presenting new translations of Mesopotamian and ancient Near Eastern historiographic texts, and other related materials. It helps readers to understand the historical context of the Near East. It covers the period from the earliest historical and literary texts (c.2700 B.C.) to the latest Hellenistic historians who comment on ancient Near Eastern history (c.250 B.C.). Texts range from the code of Hammurabi to the Assyrian royal inscriptions. In this title, a detailed commentary is provided on each text, placing it in its historical and cultural context. Maps, illustrations and a chronological table help to orientate the reader.
