Building Inscriptions of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, Vol. 1: Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Building Inscriptions of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, Vol. 1: Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar
This volume represents the first attempt to apply the rules of literary criticism to the compositions of the Neo Babylonian school of scribes. A critical examination of these sources is imperative, for Ass'yriologists have hitherto used these important documents without regard to their comparative value or their historical order. The history of this important period, the influence of Babylon upon the Jews in captivity and the evolution of the religion of Babylonia must be viewed in a new light when these sources are once critically examined and arranged.
