A collection of 39 articles that attempt to provide a global picture of Mesopotamian history between 4,000 and about 300 BCE. The title, 'Babylonian world' is a bit misleading, because Mesopotamia covers a larger area than just Babylon or even the Babylonian empire at its height (7th-6th century BCE). And as is the case with these types of collections, the level of the articles is quite uneven: some are extremely dry-academic, others offer a good synthesis that is also accessible. Overall, I think this is a successful book: the breadth of themes covered is impressive. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheRoutledge Worlds (2007)
The Babylonian World presents an extensive, up-to-date and lavishly illustrated history of the ancient state Babylonia and its 'holy city', Babylon. Historicized by the New Testament as a centre of decadence and corruption, Babylon and its surrounding region was in fact a rich and complex civilization, responsible for the invention of the dictionary and laying the foundations of modern science. This book explores all key aspects of the development of this ancient culture, including the ecology of the region and its famously productive agriculture, its political and economic standing, its religious practices, and the achievements of its intelligentsia. Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be an indispensable resource for anyone studying the period. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
