Bøker av Friedrich Delitzsch

In this formative study of the Babylonian and Assyrian letters, originally published over three articles in Beitrage zur Assyriologie, Delitzsch presents in transliteration and translation, 40 Akkadian letters, along with critical notes and remarks.

A distinguished German Assyriologist, Friedrich Delitzsch (1850-1922) caused a furore in 1902 when he gave a lecture on the light that cuneiform research had shed on the Bible, tracing Old Testament narratives to earlier Babylonian myths. Reissued here is the illustrated 1903 English edition.
