About this book
Babylonia and Assyria are surveyed through their buildings, carved reliefs, metalwork and other crafts in this 1912 introduction by Percy S. P. Handcock. He draws on discoveries made since the days of Layard, Rawlinson, Botta and Place, and gives extra room to architecture, sculpture and metallurgy. Two chapters deal with cuneiform writing, covering its pictorial origin, the story of its decipherment and the literature written in it, and another reviews the excavations themselves. Maps, many illustrations, a short bibliography and a chronological summary of rulers are included.
