Official synopsis Publisher
“In addition to the discussion of the cuneiform inscriptions in these lectures, which bear more particularly upon the Old Testament, several chapters have been included on life in ancient Babylonia. Besides facts published by others, these chapters include a presentation of certain discussions of general interest which I have published in a more technical form in the series: ‘The Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania.’ These chapters, however, also contain much material that appears for the first time.”
