tailieunhanh - Assyrian Historiography

To the less narrowly technical reader, the development of the historical sense in one of the earlier culture peoples has an interest all its own. The historical writings of the Assyrians form one of the most important branches of their literature. Indeed, it may be claimed with much truth that it is the most characteristically Assyrian of them all. [Footnote: This study is a source investigation and not a bibliography. The only royal inscriptions studied in detail are those presenting source problems. Minor inscriptions of these rulers are accorded no more space than is absolutely necessary, and rulers who have not given us strictly historical inscriptions. | Assyrian Historiography with accents 1 Assyrian Historiography with accents Project Gutenberg s Assyrian Historiography by Albert Ten Eyck Olmstead Copyright laws are changing all over the world.
